Paulo Filho will be back to Brazilian stages on Bitetti Combat 6, and he’s already training for the combat. The organization of the event didn’t confirm who’s going to be the opponent of the black belt, but the black belt revealed to TATAME.com that his opponent may be Marvin Eastman. In interview to TATAME.com , Filho talked about the next UFC fights, as Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort and the return of Rodrigo Minotauro and Wanderlei Silva, and the possibility of Ricardo Arona signing with the UFC.

Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort?

Vitor trained and with a good head is almost unbeatable. He punches very well, he’s explosive and he’s proving it. I know him since he was a kid on Carlson’s time. He’s talented and dangerous. He’s complete, with a good Wrestling, boxing, good Jiu-Jitsu to MMA... With a good mind I believe on him on any category, against anyone. Anderson is amazing, I don’t even have what to say about him, but, honestly, I think if they are equal, Vitor takes it. Vitor is very dangerous, very fast. I think he beats not only Anderson, but anyone. With his kids coming, he’s more focused. I look at him and I see that he has that tiger eye again.

Rodrigo Minotauro vs. Cain Velasquez?

Minotauro will submit. Velasquez has race, a good Wrestling, rhythm, but where his fight ends is where Minotauro’s start. There’s no way for him to beat Minotauro. He will be submitted. He’s limited on the ground. If he takes Rodrigo down, he be trapped in a submission. Velasquez won’t punish him, it’s a good fight to Rodrigo.

Wanderlei Silva vs. Michael Bisping?

I think Bisping is an athlete with good prepare, he goes for it, but Wanderlei is much more fighter. But I think America wasn’t good for him. He does remarkable ights, he has a tough hand. This bad phase of his that passed was because someone told him he couldn’t anymore, but if he already did it, how he can’t now? If I talked to him I’d say “man, believe in you, when you were a champion these guys were only starting“. If he doesn’t forget it, it’s knockout.

Ricardo Arona in the UFC?

Arona well trained is spectacular. Ricardo is a brilliant guy. He defeated Fedor, what else will I say about him? He takes down very well, has a classic Jiu-Jitsu, heart... He has everything to be a champion, it depends only on him.
