Filho has said he has trouble making weight at 185, so I don't think he would even try to drop to 170.

He's way too short to be fighting at MW, a good chunk of the WW's are taller then 5'8". He really needs to try a different diet or lay off lifting weights since he's undersized to be fighting at MW.

Him not fighting Paulo is him taking the belt away from him. Really what does that leave him? Who would fight if they were told they can never compete for the belt assuming Silva never loses it. It sucks because as everyone knows Paulo is basically his best competition at that weight. Who knows Sonnen might win......
