Filho suffered fractures in his hand and hip after the vehicle he was driving collided headfirst with a Vectra. Filho told MMAFighting.com that he accidentally drove the wrong way on a road that was under construction.

The 39-year-old is in stable condition at Tijutrauma hospital and is expected to undergo surgery for his injuries soon.

Filho owns a 23-6-3 career mark and last competed in February 2014, when he lost a unanimous decision to Andre Muniz at Bitetti Combat 19. Filho owns notable victories over the likes of Murilo Rua, Ryo Chonan, Kazuo Misaki, Chael Sonnen and Melvin Manhoef.
