Filho Back?
Seeing Melvin pummeling Filho made it seem like Paulo was seeing Jesus after those punches, even if he was sober and recovered. But, Filho is as dominant on the ground as Melvin is on the feet. Filho did look to be in good shape physically. What do you all think? Is Paulo Filho back? Let’s see him fight the winner of Mayhem/Jacare.
I had the opposite reaction
Paulo looked bad on his feet and got stuffed on several takedowns. Of course at the end he was brilliant, but I don’t want to get too excited.
Melvin almost KO’d him, and this was how I expected this fight to go if Filho won. Filho is a way better grappler than Manhoef obviously.

Good to see Filho apparently back on track with his life, after the Sonnen fight problems.

Anyone ever ask him what he was looking at?

He was addicted to
the date rape drug? WTF??
Arguing on the internet is like being in the special olympics, even when you win you are still retarded.
Although flunitrazepam (rohypnol) has become widely known in USA for its use as a date-rape drug, it is used more frequently as a recreational drug. It is used by high school and college students, rave party attendees, and heroin and cocaine users (who call a dose of flunitrazepam a “roofie”) for recreational purposes, including:
* To produce profound intoxication (Kurt Cobain overdosed on a mixture of flunitrazepam and champagne several weeks before his death)
* To increase sedative effect in combination with heroin, or ease the anxiety and/or sleeplessness of withdrawal
* To counteract the side effects of stimulants (e.g. insomnia, paranoia, jitteriness)
* To “soften” the so-called “crash” which follows heavy usage of stimulants, such as cocaine or methamphetamine

I apologize for making Nick sad last night. Won’t happen again.

it was dicey standing up
the first time they hit the ground it was bad new but the second time we all knew it was over. I wouldn’t mind seeing Filho vs Lindland or Shields
So Filho comes to the US, and goes soft, looking pudgy and bewildered during fights. He then goes back to Japan, looks ripped & strong. While I’m not one to beat the accusatory drum, this is too much for me not to cry ’Roids! unless be begins passing drug tests.

![Tim Kennedy speaks to Sherdog Radio about his loss to "Jacare" Souza and his plans to KO Melvin Manhoef on March 5th at Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Feijao:
"That [Jacare] fight was totally crap," Kennedy said. "I sat there for 25 minutes and stalked the guy around the cage as he would peck me with the jab or throw an overhand right. Repeat for 25 minutes. That sucks. I, as a fan, would get bored with that fight. For crying out loud, come forward and fight me. You’re the greatest grappler on the planet. So I stuff you on a couple of takedowns, maybe try for a third one. If I take you down, maybe try to submit me. Don’t sit there and ride out a decision doing some fancy footwork for some so-called judges that are boxing judges. That’s stupid. If you’re going to win a title, come into the cage to fight."
"I’m not that kind of fighter," he explained. "I want to fight. I know everybody cares about who gets the W, but the fans want to see exciting fights. … Of course I like winning, but I like fighting. Fighting’s the essence of the sport, and that’s what people pay to see. If I’m going to take him [Manhoef] down, I’m going to pick him up and I’m going to slam him. I’m not going to stay tight for a close submission. I want to knock him out. That’s what fans like seeing and that’s what I like delivering."
