Three days after being cut from the list of UFC fighters, the black belt Thales leites is back in the organization. The announcement was made by president Dana White himself, stating that in addition to the Brazilian, welterweight Tamdan McCrory remains in Ultimate.
Thales debuted in the UFC in 2006, losing his unbeaten record in MMA after being overcome by Martin Kampmann in the referees' decision, but after this setback, the black belt went on a streak of five consecutive victories, earning the right to challenge for the 84kg belt. In a warm fight against Anderson Silva, Thales lost the title match in April. On his return to the octagon, Leites ended up being surprised by the Italian Alessio Sakara, losing in a highly contested decision by the referees, which led to the announcement of his dismissal this Tuesday, but as Dana stated, the Nova União athlete will not leave the UFC .
