Fight appears to be postponed. Saw this on mmamania.com.


The rematch between undefeated WEC middleweight kingpin Paulo Filho and Chael Sonnen has been postponed to June 1 in Sacramento, Calif., according to the Brazilian MMA Web site Tatame.com.

However, the reason for the postponement is a bit puzzling. The movement of the rematch was apparently requested by Filho. Though no official reason has been cited, it appears per Filho’s comments that one possible motive maybe his own mental health.

Here’s a snip:

“I wasn’t on a good moment, had depression but I’m rising now and the Americans forced me to fight now. I’m not afraid of winning or losing, but I wasn’t motivated to train, wasn’t training well, so I decided to do what the contract says and transferred the fight to June.”

Filho vs. Sonnen was originally scheduled as the headlining bout of the March event. Now, the featured bout appears to be the WEC light heavyweight title matchup between champion Doug “The Rhino” Marshall and Brian Stann.

I heard about that and it sucks, because I was actually looking forward to the Filho/Sonnen match.
