Leites learned from Bisping bout, vows not to make same mistakes with Mousasi

Thales Leites explains why he lost to Michael Bisping and how he believes that will help him against Gegard Mousasi. He claims he should believe more in his jiu-jitsu.

Thales Leites was building himself quite the Cinderella story after his return to the UFC. Five wins a row put him in the mix of the middleweight division and earned him a main event spot against Michael Bisping. Unfortunately, that's what brought his title run to a halt.

Now paired against Gegard Mousasi, Leites told Portal do Vale Tudo he will use what he learned from the Bisping loss in order to go back where he once were.
