Paulo Filho likes his doughnuts

Paulo Filho went to the scale looking dejected and meek, and there was good reason. Two hours earlier, the middleweight had weighed in at 192.5 lbs. That is seven pounds overweight for his fight against Chael Sonnen. After removing his shorts Filho still weighed 192 lbs, what was he thinking that there was a bowling ball in there?
After two hours Paulo was only able to cut three pounds, resulting in the championship bout being reduced to a non-title fight.
This certainly hurts Filho's mystique. Considered by many to the consensus number two middleweight, behind Anderson Silva. This is also the last middleweight bout in the WEC, with the division being folded into the UFC. Not a stellar way to go out.
