Dean Lister KOTC champion, Abu Dahbi champ versus the undefeated PAULO FILHO coming to a PRIDE near you?
Dean Lister realeased the following statement regarding Paulo Filho and some disparaging remarks Filho made about Lister in a recent interview:
"In other news, super nice guy Dean 'The Machine' Lister, the man who prides himself into being a Super-Gentleman fighter is mad, real mad! Dean, who has never said a bad word about anyone is mad at Paulo Filho.
Aparently Filho said a few things that irked Dean and he wants a piece of him! Dean states:
'Here is what I have to say to Paulo Filho:
Apparently Paulo has a problem with me even though I have no idea why. If he's not careful he will have a problem with me (his first MMA loss). Actually if he would fight me, I'd be happy to buy him a step ladder for our fight, that way he could reach me. I would love to fight Paulo because I feel I couldn't miss any of my punches or kicks, I mean look at how big his mouth is, all I have to do is aim for the mouth and I can't lose.
He has a big mouth and needs to have it shut (the hard way) with my fists. So he thinks I look away from him when he looks into my eyes (actually I usually don't look down so never noticed him looking up at me), what the hell? Why is he trying to look into my eyes, I never noticed because I only look into the eyes of girls, never men. He thinks I am afraid of him, I can't stop laughing about that. So I'd like to see how much of a man he really is and accept a fight against me sometime in the near future. I've also heard he's said that I can't stay in the same room when he enters because I'm afraid. Actually I've never noticed him enter any room I am in so I have nothing more to say about that.
I've never even talked to the guy and have no idea why he started talking bad about me to the press and the public, I don't know why he started these problems but I'm ready to finish them and show I deserve respect. In only one interview, I gave him credit for a good fight against Suloev and expressed my understanding how frustrating it is to get injured like that, the respect I gave him was not returned. He has so far talked bad about me in at least three interviews I saw on the internet.
As far as him destroying Amar Suloev who 'destroyed' me, thats laughable. I had bad family problems at the time and had absolutely no strategy against my opponent and by the way the fight was close. If Paulo had fought me that night after Suloev I promise he wouldn't have found the same opponent Amar had found almost a year before.
I'd like to see Paulo or as I like to call him Paulinho try to armlock me or better yet footlock me. I've never made a challenge like this to anyone, it's not my style but, Paulo, you are officially challenged! Do you like challenges?'
