USA, Meet Paulo Filho (WEC Results)

Though relatively unknown in the US, Paulo Filho is a rising star to hardcore MMA fans and the well educated Japanese audience. The Brazilian Top Team's 185lb. tank is now a perfect 15-0 after pounding out Joe Doerkson to take the WEC Middleweight Title. Paulo has been around for years and the Zuffa organization finally snapped him up, though for some reason they put him in the minor league WEC instead of at the big dance (UFC). At any rate, Paulo is now the king of the WEC Middleweights and has to be ranked in the Top Ten of all the Middleweights in the world. Surely a guy who has beaten such great fighters as the notorious Minowa, Amar Suloev of the Red Devils, K.Misaki (2006 Middleweight Grand Prix winner), Ryo Chonan, and Yuki Kongo (Pancrase Champion) cannot be held down in UFC-Lite for too long. Though UFC Middleweight Chamption Anderson Silva is a friend of Filho, that doesn't mean we shouldn't see Paulo against great contenders like Rich Franklin, Yushin Okami, Mike Swick, Nate Marquardt, or any of the other myriad of top fighters in the big show. Otherwise he's just going to dismantle the cans that step up in the WEC.

America, say hello to a future Super-Star, Paulo Filho has arrived in the states.

Also on the WEC card, Carlos Condit retained his Welterweight Title against the very game Brock Larson, raising his impressive record to 21-4. Also, former UFC Lightweight Jamie Varner (13-2) continues to impress as he becomes a top contender if a 155 belt is made for the WEC. If you get the chance, check out Varner's sick slam on Leggett. Jeff Curran (28-8-1) got his 6th win in a row and may now vie for Uriah Faber's Featherweight Title in his next outing.

Hey alright, there was actually a decent MMA event. I was really getting tired of this drought of info and action. "Till all are one."
