Leites: I will KO or submit Bisping
Thales Leites: “When we get inside the cage it’s just me and him, and you close the cage and we will figure out who will be the best fighter that night.”
Since starting his second UFC run in 2013, Thales Leites is a perfect 5-0 in the Octagon and is stepping into the main event for his next fight. Leites believes he has the tools to stop Michael Bisping and is looking forward to working his way up to another title shot:
“When we get inside the cage it’s just me and him, and you close the cage and we will figure out who will be the best fighter that night. I think that this fight is perfect for me. I will fight forward for sure and probably he will fight forward, too. We will collide every time. I will fight standing, I will fight on the take downs, I will work my take downs and we will fight on the ground…We will see what will happen [and] who will feel the heavy hands first [and look] to try and take [the other] down or clinch.”
Leites is one of the hottest 185 pound fighters in the UFC, right now, having won his last eight fights. Bisping may be the bigger name, but Leites is intent on building his own off of a win over the TUF champion.
“Maybe the first or second round,” he ended, with confidence.
“It’s gonna be by knockout or submission. Depends how he will receive my hands. But I will put my hands on his face for sure.”
