World Extreme Cagefighting middleweight champ Paulo Filho will finally get in the cage for the first time in 2008 at WEC 36 on September 10, and this video shows why his rematch with Chael Sonnen is a fight so many mixed martial arts fans are anticipating eagerly:
The first Filho-Sonnen fight had a controversial ending, with the referee stopping the fight even though Sonnen claimed he didn't tap when Filho had him in an arm bar, and their rematch has been delayed by Filho's drug problems.
Although the Urijah Faber-Mike Brown clash is ostensibly the WEC 36 main event, Filho vs. Sonnen has the feel of a main event-quality fight.
