Following his disappointing and bizarre loss to Chael Sonnen at WEC 36, WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho (16-1) has been cut from Zuffa LLC and will not be heading to the UFC next year when the organization absorbs the WEC's middleweight and light-heavyweight classes.
While speaking with MMAjunkie.com, Ed Soares, Filho's manager, confirmed reports of the fighter's departure from Zuffa.
Soares couldn't fault the UFC for its decision, but he said Filho is already considering other options. One of them might be a spot on a new MMA reality show/competition promoted by Bellator Fighting Championships that's expected to air on ESPN Deportes next year.
