With sunglasses, mustache and a Flamengo t-shirt, Paulo Filho made weight for his fight tonight against Alex Shoenauer, at Bitetti Combat 4. After the weight-ins, the black belt spoke with TATAME.com about the polemical with Gegard Mousasi, who said he used steroids in the fight against Melvin Manhoef.

“People gets sad because I say the truth in my interviews, but I think he’s not enough to beat be and that’s it. Mousasi didn’t like with the truth I said”, guarantees Paulo, who said last week to TATAME.com that he’d submit Mousasi.

“He’s very competent, has a beautiful future in MMA, but he said that and will have to be a man to face me inside the rings, after that he can say whatever he wants”, said, believing in his BJJ game. “He can be better in striking, what don’t say a shit to me, but we’ll fight and I have my jiu-jitsu and that’s it”.
