WEC World Extreme Cagefighting is an American mixed martial arts promotion. It is the sister promotion to the UFC, both owned and produced by ZUFFA, with a focus on lighter weight classes and talent building for the UFC. As with its older and much larger sibling, the WEC uses the same rules as the UFC, but it holds its fights in a smaller octagonal cage.

Well I guess he snapped out of it.
I think Filho wins this one easy.

I think Filho will be a lot more focused. I think he took Chael lightly in their first fight and I think he comes out looking to beat Sonnen quickly.
I'm sure a lot of people think this will be close or even that Chael will win but I just have a feeling it'll be a easy win for Filho.

Either Fihlo is playing games or he is in serious trouble. Sonnen gave him a run for his money last time out and if Filho thinks he can take him lightly again, I think Paulo has another thing coming. Sonnen is no slouch, and I believe that if he can control the match the same way he was last time he has a great shot at winning the title. Chael just needs to make sure that this time he doesn't get caught.

I dont know what to think either about Paulo. He'd better have his head in the game or things will not be good.

I'm actually pulling for Sonnen in this one. He looked great in the last fight, regardless of the mental state Filho was in at the time. I'm sure Filho came out of that fight a little more enlightened, but Sonnen definitely came out of it a much better fighter than before. I think this is gonna be way better than the last fight.

I think Filho is the better fighter, but Sonnen gave him a run for his money in their last bout, plus Filho might not have his head on straight.

If Filho doesn't sort his head out he could lose.

I don't see Filho winning this one Sonnen gave him a run for his money and he was super gassed in the last fight.
