Former WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho talks about how his substance abuse affected his career. He also believes Jon Jones will have a relapse.
Paulo Filho was one of the most promising middleweights around back in 2007 when he conquered the WEC belt by knocking out Joe Doerksen and defended it by submitting Chael Sonnen. All of that while sporting a spotless 16-0 record.
However, his career was put to a halt when addiction came in to place. As he reflected back on those days while speaking to Tatame, Filho believes the depression cause by the substance abuse was his biggest setback.
