Gegard Mousasi vs. Thales Leites targeted for UFC London co-main event

Mousasi wrote Sunday on Facebook that he'll be meeting Thales Leites in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Bisping on Feb. 27 in London. Leites' camp also confirmed with MMA Fighting that the fight is a go.

UFC officials have yet to confirm the matchup. Mousasi seems to have deleted the post as of Sunday evening.

Mousasi (37-6-2) was supposed to face Michael Bisping on the card, but Bisping was given the main event spot against Anderson Silva. The Dutchman is coming off a stunning upset loss to Uriah Hall in September via knockout, but won two in a row before that.
