Paulo Filho hits back at recent comments made by Gegard Mousasi

Newly crowned Strikeforce light-heavyweight champ Gegard Mousasi recently made sensational claims that Paulo Filho has been taking steroids at times during his MMA career. Now Filho has gone public and hit back at the recent claims by Mousasi.

In a recent interview with Terra.com.br, Filho adds to his fued with Mousasi.

“I didn’t take any steroid. How could I have taken steroids before losing 9 kilos?”

“It’s his fault. He wants to talk, but the truth is he is afraid. He watched me in the past and I also watched him. He didn’t change his game too much. He’s the same: paper-thin and just put on some weight.”

“And it’s clear he doesn’t respect the opponent because he always has this ‘superior’ look on his face. He’s in good momentum right now but the Brazilian light-heavyweights are able to beat him up - and I’m one of them.”

“The fight isn’t signed yet but it will happen. DREAM and Strikeforce have connection. Wherever he wants to face me off, we’ll fight. Be sure we will put on this challenge.”

“Depending on the position I will punish him on the ground. All fights end up clinched and he falls easily. I’ll use my jiu-jitsu base to annul his game.”

Although there is no fight set up between Gegard Mousasi and Paulo Filho as of yet, when a fight finally does come together, the back and forth trash talking between Filho and Mousasi will ensure that it will be a much anticipated event.
