Filho en rehabilitación

No habrá pelea de titulo middleweight en el próximo WEC, la pelea estelar sera por el titulo Lightheavyweight entre Doug Marshall y Brian Stann.
Paulo “Paulao” Filho quien estaba agendado para defender el titulo middleweight el 26 de marzo en WEC no podrá pelear ya que se encuentra internado en un centro de rehabilitación de Niteroi, Brasil. por depresión y dependencia a sustancias (no se ha especificado cual), su manager Ed Soares se pronuncio al respecto:

“This is horrible news, but we’re proud of him for stepping up and recognizing his problem,” said Filho’s manager, Ed Soares. “At times like this you realize who your true friends are and who really supports you, and the people around him now are supporting him and are gonna be with him when he comes back. Paulo apologizes to his fans but he thanks them for their support and he promised that the next time they see him, he’ll be back at 100 percent and will be the Paulo Filho everyone expects to see.”

“We fully support Paulo in this difficult time and our thoughts are with him as he goes through recovery,” said Peter Dropick, WEC Vice President.

Es una pena que un excelente atleta como Filho estando en un punto muy alto de su carrera tenga que enfrentarse a problemas de este tipo.
