TATAME.com reported yesterday that Paulo Filho was supposed to fight Hector Lombard for the Bellator title. We just spoke with the black belt, who confirmed the fight, but not for the event’s middleweight title.

“He’s very strong, it’s on the tops, but we’ll see what will happen. I never had that thing of wanting titles. Of course there’s the marketing on that, but, if he beats me, he’ll deserve that title,” he said, explaining why he didn’t showed up in his last two fights. “They owe me R$ 60 thousand. They said thay’d pay me R$ 20 thousand before the fight, but they never did it. I have proofs, contracts. If he doesn’t pay me, I’ll ask for that in the justice. At Dream, I had personal problems, nothing related to any drugs or things people sai din the internet, and had no time to take care of my visa”.
