Two DREAM fighters had fights this past weekend in Brazil. Paulo Filho took on Alex Schoenauer and Murilo Ninja took on Alex Stiebling. Thanks to the uploaders.

I wish Filho’s management and friends would help him instead of letting him continue his addiction and trying to fight during it.
It looked like Filho had straightened himself up for the Manhoef fight. I wonder why he took such a major step back at Bitetti?
Either way, I’ll be interesting to see how his DREAM.12 fight goes. If he’s paired up with one of DREAM’s top MWs, it might not look very pretty at all.
The Manhoef fight was at 185; Schoenauer was 205.
I think this just illustrated why Paulo needs to stay at MW.
Filho showed nothing special in Mahoef fight. Melvin just got overconfident. It was a “Mir-Lesnar I” type of victory – nothing to be proud of…
I wouldn’t compare Filho to one of the fertittas’ casino doorstops. He has some skill.
I watched the fight and thought he looked alright. As far as being addicted to things, well, if you count supplements as performance enhancing (there’s no reason not to), then most of the sport is in trouble. The same is true for football and other contact sports.
Filho is addicted to drugs, rophynol in particular. He has major issues with depression and has attempted suicide multiple times.
He was even on the drugs when he fought Manhoef, he said as much. He said he was “getting off” the drugs, but still did a “little bit.”
He doesn’t need to be fighting.
