"I matured a lot after leaving the UFC, I began to see things with different eyes, I changed my game to follow the trend of the MMA world. They pay you to fight and want entertainment, and if you're not entertaining, if you're boring, there's a line behind you waiting to fight. It's a job market. To keep up, you have to struggle to stay exciting... Wanderlei (Silva) [has stayed in the UFC] even while losing three of his five fights, because, even though he is losing, they're the best fights of the night. He puts on a show, and that's what guys want." -- Thales Leites

Despite Leites’ fight with Anderson SIlva, I always thought that he was a quality fighter. I liked his fight against Nate Marquardt and thought that it was an exciting fight (minus the point deductions). He has a good and realistic outlook on fighting in MMA, but he is a BJJ guy, so just because he has this new outlook, I hope he doesn’t become like a Jorge Gurgel.

Actually I feel kind of bad for Leites one fight no matter how horrilbe it is shouldn’t ruin your career but there is no excuse for him losing to Sakara.

According to Demian Maia, he lost his own impending title shot (and his undefeated record) by having to face Marquardt thanks to Leites’ performance.
