The result at WEC 36 wasn’t the expected from the Brazilian fans. Facing Chael Sonnen for the second time, Paulo Filho knew is first loss ever after 17 fights, yesterday. With a bad performance, Filho was defeated by unanimous decision, and did an exclusive interview to TATAME.com at his hotel room, at Florida. “What can I do, it’s sad… The fact is that I have no excuses, he (Sonnen) went there and did his job to neutralize me and that’s what happened, he did the right job and he has all merits… It was good to give me a new spirit”, said Filho, who revealed he’s moving to Los Angeles after new training.

“(Train) Here will be good, everybody is coming here and that’s because it works. At Brazil we hadn’t a good training camp, and here I believe we’ll have a high level training”, spoke Filho, supported by his coach Josuel Distak. “The loss isn’t good, but that’s good to learn. We need more focus, responsibility, and the weight is a problem… What happened yesterday we’ll forget and start all over again. We’ll train here and get our rematch with Sonnen, and then go to light-heavyweight division”, revealed Distak. Stay tuned on TATAME.com for more news about WEC.
