Some of you might remember Paulo Filho as the former WEC champion. For the rest of us, we remember the space cadet who fought Chael Sonnen hopped up on goofballs and former member of the rehab club. Well, the same Paulo Filho recently came clean about his past, and his future, which he wants to make extremely clear – He is totally normal.
Riggghhhttt buddy.
Not only does Filho believe he is wanted by fight organizations around the world, but he recently showed off his latest masterpiece. In a tribute to his idol, Mike Tyson (what a shocker), he got a face tattoo. You know, all the sane people are doing it, so why not?
As told t0 Gracie Magazine:
“It’s like what [Mike] Tyson has on his face. The tattoo looks good, I’m the one who doesn’t! Come here and take a picture of the new Paulo to show people what’s to come. I’m off drugs. This business about no one wanting me is a lie. There are a number of events around the world wanting me to fight for them.”
…And, if that wasn’t enough, he managed to get yet another ridiculously odd tattoo on his forearm. A tribute piece (or ad space?) for his favorite tattoo shop in the world.
