Middleweight Thales Leites (12-1) will face off against former number one contender Nate Marquardt (26-7-2) at UFC 85 in London. The card is quickly becoming a strong one: 205: Chuck Liddell vs. Rashad Evans 206: Fabricio Werdum vs. Brandon Vera 185: Nate Marquardt vs. Thales Leites 170: Roan Carneiro vs. Ryo Chonan
Nate will run over Thales, other than the Silva fight Nate's getting better and better now that he's with Greg Jackson's camp.
Another fight signed for UFC 85 <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Report: Thiago Tavares vs. Matt Wiman set to take place at UFC 85 Sherdog.com has learned that a lightweight match-up between Thiago Tavares (13-1) and TUF 5’s Matt Wiman (will take place on June 7th’s UFC 85 in London, England. Tavares told Sherdog.com the following: “My manager, Alex Davis, just confirmed this fight,” “I am very happy with the choice of this opponent because he is a tough guy who is coming off three wins in a row, and I think we will make a great fight for the public. I like to face those tougher guys, and I thought this is a great opportunity.” Tavares last fought at UFC Fight Night 12, where he scored a rather uneventful unanimous decision victory over Michihiro Omigawa. ‘Handome’ Matt Wiman’s last fight was also on UFC Fight Night 12. Wiman scored a quick submission victory (rear-naked choke) over Justin Buchholz.</div> I like Wiman, probably because he's close friends with the one and only OMAtm (one man army) but this better be on the undercard.
I like Nate. But the reality is that he will likely migrate to another organization due to the silva factor.
