Remember when Anderson Silva stepped into the octagon for the very first time and faced Chris Leban?  Most of the UFC crowd didn’t know a whole lot about him except that he fought in the Pride and was from Brazil.  The rest is history.  

Most MMA fans who haven’t followed Pride FC may not be familar with middleweight Paulo Filho, but they should be.  Tonight he is making his Zuffa debut at WEC Wrekcage and like Silva is a dangerous, well round fighter from Brazil.  Filho trains with the likes of Mario Sperry and the Nogueira brothers at Brazilan Top Team and has amassed a 14-0 fight record while facing some stiff competition.  Notches in his belt include Ryo Chonan (a fighter who beat UFC champion Anderson Silva a couple of years ago), Murilo Rua, Amar Suloev, and the last guy to beat Dan Henderson, Kazuo Misaki.  Take a look at how he easily handled Misaki in his last fight:
