Why he's out and when he'll be back inside!
Sherdog.com is reporting that WEC Middleweight Champion Paulo Filho will not be defending his belt on the March 26th card against Chael Sonnen. Filho checked himself into a rehab clinic with what his manager Jorge Guimaraes called "chemical dependence and depression." In the article Guimares also said that Filho will stay in the clinic until he is 100% and will be defending his title in June.
good on him for getting himself help before getting busted and causing embarrassment for his employer.

Yeah it's good to see him own up to it before it gets out of hand. It can be hard to admit that you have a problem. I wonder if this explains why he came out slow in his last fight. Maybe it was affecting his training. Best of luck to him in getting through it.

Filho is a juice freak and is in the middle of his cycle. So, if he wants to fight he will test positive. Good for him to drop out, roid freak
