After the victory against Dean Lister, in his MFC debut, Thales Leites goes to the second challenge on May 7th against  the wrestler Jesse Taylor in the main event of MFC 25. The Californian from Team Quest won half of his fights by submission. Due to that fact, Thales believes that the opponent’s game will match his.

“I believe that our game matches, I’ve been watching his fights and I could tell he’s really explosive. He goes and takes the guy. Now it’s just wait and see, practice, study his game and adapt myself”, commented Thales, who was hoping that the fight was for the belt.

“It would be a fight for the belt and I don’t know why it changed all of a sudden. I want to fight independently if it’s for a belt or not, but of course that when you fight in a competition, you want to reach the top of it. I’m focusing on this particular fight. You will see an embattled guy, who’s always trying for a knockout or a submission. I’m going for a combat, always, and I believe he will do so. It’s has everything that takes for an excellent fight”, says the black-belt.
