Call him what you want, a rising star, a sleeping giant, I call him the future UFC welterweight champion. Hailing from Brazil, Paulo Thiago is a current UFC welterweight awaiting his next fight against Mike Swick this Feb. at UFC 109. Aside from being a black belt in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, he is also a active member of BOPE, (Batalhão de Operações Especiais) an elite special police force in his hometown of Brasília. Other than his Jiu-Jitsu and Judo accolades he has first class Muay Thai training which he put on display at UFC 95 when he viciously knocked out UFC superstar Josh Koscheck. As I said earlier, my humble prediction is that sooner than later we're going to see Paulo wearing the UFC welterweight championship.
