Or, he is mentally damaged from fighting. Either way, he's off. Filho is an addict, sorry, but he’s never going to be a great fighter until he gets his addictions controlled.

To me it was apperent from the time Filho walked into the ring that there was obviously something not right with him. and how they even let the fight happen in the first place i cant begin to understand. Im glad that Filho wasnt in there with a guy that was more aggressive cause he may have been seriously hurt. I belive that there needs to be a investigation into the practices of the WEC when it comes to fighter safety because there seem to me that there was a strong lack of it in this case.

He gave up the belt and now its time to move on. Hopefully whatever issues Filho has can be taken care of and he get can back on the right track to fighting again.

Just how dumb are YOU anyway to make a stupid comment like that.

He definitely hurt his fighting appeal in the last 9 months,that's for sure.

While he seemed to be somewhat aware of what was going on during most of the fight, by the end of the fight he became dehydrated and whatever drug he took started to take an even greater hold on his mind.

I am glad the belt is a joke anyway the division is dead, and what's really disgusting is how people are so quick to judge someone who is going through deep emotional problems people like this are unstable and even suicidal, it's nothing to dismiss as a minor problem I think the least of Filho's concerns are making weight and what some jackass MMA fans think of his missing weight.

Champions who don't make weight should immediately be stripped of their belts anyhow. Good, I’m glad Filho manned up and gave his belt to Sonnen.
