Thales Leites Released due to Lackluster Fights
Posted by Admin on August 13, 2009
Just four months after his title shot against Anderson Silva, Thales Leites has been dropped from his UFC contract.
His 5-3 UFC record doesn’t appear to be the issue though…Leites has been accused of being a ‘safe’ fighter, who is unwilling to engage with his opponents, and was loudly booed during his bout with Silva and during his Split decision loss to Italian Alessio Sakara at UFC 101.
Leites was undefeated before coming to the Octagon, and is currently 14-3 in his career but where he goes from here is anyone’s guess.
