Paulo Filho No Shows DREAM 12

The decline of Paulo Filho has been just awful to watch.  It wasn't long ago that he was one of the top three middleweights in the world.  Now it's hard to remember anything other than Filho wandering around the WEC cage in a daze talking to himself while Chael Sonnen threw half hearted punches in an effort to not hurt the obviously not-right Brazilian.  Now it appears that Paulo no-showed his DREAM.12 fight against Dong Sik Yoon.  From BloodyElbow:

At a Friday afternoon press conference, DREAM frontman Keiichi Sasahara told reporters that the promotion had yet to hear from Filho or his manager, Ed Soares, but that a replacement fighter was standing by and would be announced tomorrow. Polish site MMA Rocks is reporting that Filho's replacement will be Team Quest's Tarec Saffiedine, who previously stepped in on short notice to face Seichi Ikemoto in DREAM.10's WWGP reserve match.

It's hard to believe that Filho's career seems all but over despite only ever losing a single fight.
