Thales Leites returns to the Octagon at Saturday’s pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, and while many fellow UFC middleweights complain about the upcoming title bout, he has a different opinion regarding the state of the division.
One of the last men to face Michael Bisping before “The Count" captured middleweight gold, Leites, who takes on Brad Tavares at UFC 216 on Oct. 7, sees the clash between the British star and former welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre at Madison Square Garden as a chance for the fighters to make more money.
