Filho says he won't fight A. Silva. I call BS

Paulo Filho

Tatame: And if their decision is to merge you to UFC, will you face Anderson Silva?

Filho: Definitely no. We're close friends and I believe there's space for everybody there, it's definitely out of my plans.

Yeah, sure. We've seen this before. Guys who are purportedly best friends saying they won't fight each other, but once they both get to the top of the mountain, money talks. See, the Zuffa (UFC/WEC parent company) is folding the WEC's LHW and MW divisions into the UFC. That means Filho, the WEC MW champ, will be thrown into the UFC ranks. To me, that means his WEC title is no more. He's undefeated, and although he recently suffered bouts with drug addiciton and depression, I see him winning his first fight in the UFC before he's offered a title fight with Silva. He'll take the fight.
