Baker Replaces Filho Versus Sonnen
Posted by Chad Edward on March 18th, 2008Undefeated Bryan Baker (6-0) gets the late call to replace “Ely” Paulo Filho (16-0) versus Chael Sonnen (19-9-1) at 26 March’s WEC 33.
Filho, the WEC Middleweight Champion, bailed out of the rematch with Sonnen after checking into a Brazilian clinic for substance addiction.
Baker, a student of “Wildman” Thomas Denny (25-16), had won all of his fights by stoppage until a split decision over Eric Schambari (7-1) last December.
