Paulo Thiago: Kill or Be Killed via Tatame "I messed up (in my fight with Diego Sanchez). I was winning the first round, up until the half of the second round, but he was able to take me down and I got tired. I messed up during the weight cutting, losing weight right on the last minute. It was not a good result, but because it was Fight of the Night I’ll be getting another chance" (laughs). "I’m waiting to see who I’ll fight next, I think this will be my last chance. Now it’s either kill or be killed. If I win I stay, if I lose I’m out". This Fan Shot was promoted to the front page by Nick Thomas. UFC 121: Lesnar vs. Velasquez coverage

Paulo Thiago says "I didn’t fight well at all" in an interview with tatame.com: "I didn’t fight well at all, man. I couldn’t do it, I froze… I went forward on the beginning of the fight, but then I got stuck there. I don’t know what happened, but I couldn’t play my game and he won", regrets Thiago. "I couldn’t make my game plan… Maybe I could have done better, but I didn’t. Now I have to study this fight, try to see my mistakes, improve my mental state and make it up with myself".
