Newly crowned Strikeforce LHW champion Gegard Mousasi has not taken kindly to comments made from Brazilian Paulo Filho in this Tatame interview. Filho stated:

“I wanna fight Mousasi and show that with against me is a whole different thing… he doesn’t have my strength, he doesn’t have my level on the ground. He can be a better striker, but he doesn’t have my strength and he’ll go down once and be submitted. He’s well trained, but I don’t think he’s healthy enough to beat me… If he wins, I don’t even want my salary. But I guarantee he’ll be beaten more than he was against (Akihiro) Gono.”

Mousasi pulls no punches in his response to Filho in a video from Fighters.com. Mousasi calls Filho a “little donkey”, claims he is on steroids, and blames Filho’s odd mental state and unwillingness to fight Chael Sonnen was on account that Filho couldn’t “use his magic stuff”.



So, in summary according to Mousasi; Paulo Filho is a little donkey who thinks he’s a horse but is actually a little pony, who “uses magic stuff”.
