Former WEC middleweight champion, Paulo Filho will have a chance to win one more title in his career. TATAME.com learned from several sources that the black belt will face Bellator tournament champion Hector Lombard at May 20.

Conan Silveira, Lombard’s Jiu-Jitsu trained at American Top Team, confirmed the news to TATAME.com. “We’re ready for anything. I just came from Australia, I didn’t know if Paulão had signed it yet”, said Silveira, who graduated Lombard black belt this Saturday, after his victory at CFC 12. “That’s a sad situation because Paulão comes from the same school that I came, from Carlson’s, he’s my friend, but this it professional”.

And this is not the only fight in Filho’s future. WFC president, Fred Fontes confirmed that the fighter will face Maiquel Falcão in next edition of the event. “This fight is on and will probably happen at June or July. Paulão signed with Bellator to fight for the title, so we decided to postpone the event”, explains. Stay tuned for more news on Paulo Filho.
