Paulo Filho no-showed Bitetti Combat 6 because it didn't pay

[Drock]

We didn’t have a financial agreement. The purse was too low comparing from what I’m used to receiving and it’s bad for the fighter’s career. [The media] said I’m having problems with drugs and medicines … You can test me and you’ll see … I’m great. I’m not worried with fighting in Brazil anymore. I like the event, Amaury is my friend, but this event doesn’t pay what I deserve ... If someone pays what I deserve, It’ll be my pleasure to beat him up

so many stories and lies out about this right now

[Misfit]

Oh yeah, he's lost and any org that's takes a chance on him right now, deserves to get screwed right now. You have better chances playing Russian roulette with 5 chambers loaded than this guy performing to his old standards.

there has been how many guys to fall off the deep end in mma?

[MMA Guru]

Well, honestly, I think you can kinda count Tanner even though he died clean he was a raging alcoholic. Chuck has had issues, Rampage obviously, Overeem is off the deep end right now to me. Hell, I think that term "off the deep end" could be more defined because I even consider Ken Shamrock off the deep end haha, and I loved Kens fights!

[Discipline]

i would classify any of those as "off the deep end". when you reach a point that the issue is effecting much more than youself you have a major problem imo. many of those guys have/have had issues.

[MMA Guru]

Yeah, I mean, there are "I think" a lot of fighters then that have gone off the deep end. I'm hoping Paulo comes back honestly, but he is wasting prime career time right now and, hell, maybe even his life.

once you reach a point he is at its so hard to rise up from it and go back to the way things USED to be

[Boo Dillips]

We've all said it time and time again,he's making all these excuses fot not fighting,then says he's clean....GO GET A TEST DONE AND PROVE TO US ALL THAT YOUR NOT MAKING UP BULLSHIT STORIES!!!

[MMA Guru]

You said it Boo, why not just eliminate all doubt and get yourself tested and run it through the media. Not a big deal, if you're clean.
