Leites doesnt deserve to be on another ppv. he should be relegated to undercards and spike tv shows. I dont blame anderson for dancing around him. its a show this clown even got a title shot.

whats even funnier is the pre fight photos, Leites should have taken the promo pictures on his butt.

Maybe those 10 should be called something other than ‘’takedown’, ‘bringdowns’ perhaps.

This fight never should have happened.

Why isn’t Silva requesting fights at 205 or harder fights BJ penn style? Seems like Silva is too bored to stay hungry at middle weight.

They need to go ahead and book him vs Wanderei Silva for the 185 belt.

He’s said repeatedly that the 205 belt is Lyoto’s.

I thought several times during the fight that I would have rathered seen him fight BJ Penn – I know that is not what you meant, but just wanted to share my thoughts since you mentioned BJ
