WEC News: Paulo Filho vs. Chael Sonnen Postponed Till June

Chael Sonnen vs. paulo filho

According to the Brazilian website TaTame, the rematch between WEC light heavyweight champion Paulo Filho and Chael Sonnen at WEC 33 on March 26 will be postponed till WEC 34 on June 1.

The reason for the postponement, THE BLUES….It seem Paulo Filho has been a little unmotivated to train and asked the WEC to postpone the fight so that he can train properly for the fight. Here’s a little clip:

“I wasn’t on a good moment, had depression but I’m rising now and the Americans forced me to fight now. I’m not afraid of winning or losing, but I wasn’t motivated to train, wasn’t training well, so I decided to do what the contract says and transferred the fight to June”
