Paulo Filho’s boxing coach, Josuel Distak commented about the postponing of the 36^th edition of WEC, that were transferred to November 5^th, because of the hurricane Ike. Prepared to face Chael Sonnen to continue as the middleweight champion, Paulo Filho was sad about the problems, but his Distak guarantees this extra time will be good for Sonnen. “Not only Paulo, but everybody was really sorry about it, we were training hard and it happened. It’s sad for some, and good for others”, said. But how would it be good for anybody? Distak explains: “Good for Sonnen… We were stronger and ready to get his left arm again. He has now more one month to get ready”, told the coach.
