Paulo Filho is on the rumor section on mmaweekly to fight on WEC card on aug 5. Who should they match him up against? I say put him up there with Riggs
lol @ riggs EVER bing in that position against Filho.
Filho will take riggs down (like he takes everyone down) and positionally RAPE him en route to a gnp victory.
Why would he be in the WEC and not the big show? Filho is a stud!
Please let it be Tiki.
Please please please!!!
I like Riggs but zero chance he makes it past the first round with Filho.
lol @ joe "i never thought he could beat me" riggs and comparing Filho
to Lytle. This place is full of morans.
Riggs is the only WEC MW that even has a shot
slaps self.. 100% Agree with CRE, um.. again..
Filho will run a clinic on anyone they put in front of him in WEC. Riggs would get owned terribly.
Am I the only one who would find it hilarious if "#1 Middleweight in the world" Filho lost in the WEC?
I'd like to see Filho take on Franklin. After he finishes with him, then Filho vs A.Silva.
lol @ putting the #1 MW in the world in a feeder show.
Riggs vs Filho = Riggs vs Lytle.
Same Outcome.
Drmmr
No they aren't, but when Filho gets Riggs on the Ground, up comes Riggs Elbow and the fight is a wrap.
Filho, just like Mirko wasn't, will not be ready for the elbows since he has yet to fight being worried about them.
All I am saying is that He is not used to getting elbowed. Mirko even said himself he was going to start training with Elbows etc.
Filho, same situation. Any pride fighter for that matter, if they havne't fought with the worry of elbows, will potentially have problems.
Yep to each his own though.
Are you guys retarded?
Riggs vs. Filho = Riggs vs. Hughes = PWNAGE
"Riggs/Filho = Diaz/Gomi"
Possibly the worst analogy ever. Congrats.
Riggs has a less than stellar track record against guys with great takedowns and submissions.
Filho is better than all of those guys with great takedowns and submissions, at those very same things.
"lol @ putting the #1 MW in the world in a feeder show."
If he was the "#1 MW in the world" he wouldn't be IN a feeder show. But he's not. He may BE some day, but he's certainly not yet. Kondo, Ninja, Suolev and Chonan are nice wins, but not exactly earth shattering. I'll take Dan Henderson as the number one.

let me make this very clear to you.
WE start with Dan Henderson at #1. then Misaki beats hendo. Then Filho beats Misaki. Misaki = #1.
This is undeniable. This is why Filho is ranked #1.
He is also undefeated and shows no weakness, which is more plus points.
"Trigg beat Misaki 30-27 UD, more convincing win because Misaki later came back after his loss to beat Kang.
I think that if Trigg had put the 30-27 UD on him and he had to fight Kang then he would have lost.
Therefore Trigg's win was more devastating and impressive and Lawler then TKO'd him so Robbie Lawler would beat Filho in my opinion.
MMA math owns. Robbie Lawler bashes Filho's face in, Trigg handles his ass by sprawl and brawl and Riggs just totally wipes the mat with him.
Filho never sees the day he fights in the UFC, sorry fools. "
What you don't understand is the LINEAR ranking system. You can't go back in time and use MMA triangle logic.
My ranking is perfectly coherent. This is also why Matt Serra is ranked #1 at WW right now.
