The next UFC Fight Night hits Glasgow, Scotland, on Saturday with a top-10 middleweight main event.
No. 9-ranked contender Michael Bisping takes on No. 10-ranked Thales Leites as the veterans seek a final run up the middleweight ladder toward a potential title shot.
Bisping has exchanged wins and losses in his last nine fights. He is coming off a solid performance against CB Dollaway at UFC 186. Will he finally be able to win back-to-back fights for the first time since 2011?
Opposite Bisping will be Leites. Leites is on an eight-fight win streak with five straight wins since returning to the UFC. He has added excellent striking to his game, and it has him performing better than ever. A ninth straight win would have to make him a serious title contender at 185 pounds.
So, who holds the edge for UFC Fight Night 72?
That is what we will break down. Let’s take a look at the middleweight matchup coming your way this weekend.
