Good replacement, and probably a similar ending result--1st RD sub.

It's good that Leites is fighting again so soon. He really needs to get past the Anderson Silva debacle.......and maybe throw a punch in this fight also

this is probably an even worse matchup for sakara because I think leites can hold his own in the standup until he gets it to the ground and gets the sub. this is a good idea to get right back to it though too often we see guys take long breaks after losingsometimes due to injury but this is a good idea dont get rusty and dont reflect on the recent loss get back to training, if he gets by sakara expect him to get another matchup with a top 5 guy and try to get back into contension, maybe a rematch with marquardt or something, but lets not get ahead of uurselves

It just went from probably being a 1st round submission win to definitely being one. Thales definitely will want to show he still belongs in the UFC since he sure to show it against Silva. I see him dominating him and winning pretty easily.
