The Dream MMA Promotion is set to hold Dream 9 on May 26th. Paulo Filho who was technically the last WEC Welterweight champion was not picked up by the UFC after it’s sister promotion, WEC dropped the Welterweight and light-heavyweight classes.

His last fight was suppose to be a title fight and a rematch with Chael Sonnen. Filho didn’t make weight and the title fight was changed to a non-title match for 3 rounds. The fight went the full three rounds and Sonnen ended up winning by decision.
Filho has dealt with some depression issues that may have been a leading factor going in to his last fight. I still think it was unprofessional of him not to make weight as a title holder. Paulo Filho’s management said they would forfeit the belt to Sonnen but we never did hear if that happened.
Paulo Filho will be making his Dream debut at Dream 9 as reported by MMAFighting.com.
