...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief "What happened when [Filho] came to America, he got beat up really bad. Now he’s back in Japan and he feels like a kid in a candy story. He can use all kinds of steroids and I think the steroids have gone to his head. He didn’t perform the same as he does in Japan as he does in America and now he suddenly has a big mouth again. I would say that he’s a little donkey on steroids. He thinks he’s a running horse but he’s more like a little pony. I really believe that he used steroids. He also backed out a couple of times when he had to fight Chael Sonnen. He said he was crazy. Maybe he is crazy, I don’t know. I think he wasn’t feeling very good mentally because he cannot use his magic stuff. I also fight in Japan and I don’t use anything. If there’s an athletic commission test, he can fight me everywhere, everywhere he wants."
-Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Gegard Mousasi talks to Fighters.com about Paulo Filho's recent comments that he'd fight Mousasi for free to prove Mousasi's no good. Full video of the interview is below:
Penick's Analysis: There's one simple way to settle this war of words, and with Strikeforce's "relationship" with DREAM, it's a fight they should be able to put together. Filho's in no place to talk about the abilities of others with what he's been going through over the past year, and Mousasi's taking it to B.J. Penn territory with flat out accusations. Put the two of them in a cage and let them settle their differences.
