They're all about money. 90% of ufc fans know nothing about MMA and just wanna see ppl get fucked up. So UFC puts retards like forest griffin to fight. I see ppl complaining about Leites fight vs silva and the same ppl cheer for Forest griffin lol Anderson silva isn't stupid, he knew leites was a big threat and his strategy was to stay back and score points. He won the fight he was better but don't blame leites cuz anderson was just as guilty as him for that slow fight. Now what happened when LOLGriffin fought anderson? He got ROFLcawabanga KO'd as anderson was backpedalling and ran away crying. Now thats something that would make me cuz someone of the UFC, but wait, hes a nobody that came thru TUF, cheap contract.... Lets cut the allstart BJJ fighter because average joe wants to see ppl get fucked up like forest. Another retard fight they're promoting, GSP vs Hardy. C'mon Hardy will get ROFL TKO'd. The only stand up fighter that can possibly take down GSP would be machida or anderson, now put any All star BJJ against GSP and you will see GSP get destroyed. Leites would break his leg in 2. UFC doesn't wan't that, they wanna make GSP a hall of famer beating litle kids like hardy in preparation for a hufe fight, probabbly sv anderson or machida, or any BJJ master. Paulo Thiago is another one that would TKO GSP on 1st round. all GSP's got is take down and lay on top of u for 5 rounds. Horrible stand up ... UFC isn’t about skilled fighters.

I know he is not a title contender (who really believed Leites was???) but he has no business being in the UFC except for the fact that people like me WHO IS PAYING TO SEE FIGHTS want to see entertaining fights and him to get KTFO. I understand what your saying but in the end its about the $$$$$ and Leites boring fights are not going to get me excited. You have to give what the fans want and after getting BOOED TWICE after your fights cause your boring thats not going to cut it sorry. The UFC is in the business of making $$$ and Leites is not helping the cause.

Not to many fighters ever get the opportunity to fight in a main-event title match and you BLEW IT. If you wanted to fight on ground, then it is up to you to TAKE the fight to the ground. Just flopping on your back was an embarrassment to you, an insult to other deserving fighters, and a slap in the face to fight fans. You were not expected to BEAT Silva, but you were expected to at least TRY. If you had used your considerable talent and at least made an ATTEMPT, you could have kept your good name. Now with another boring fight (and this time losing to a mid-talent), I don't blame the UFC one bit for sending you packing. Good riddance, Leites.
