Saturday night at UFC 101, Thales Leites will look to bounce back from a loss to Anderson Silva with a win over Alessio Sakara.

Leites, who is 14-2/5-2 in UFC, is the clear odds-on favorite at -500 to beat Sakara (+300).

Sakara (13-7/4-4 UFC) only took the fight at short notice after Rousimar Palhares was ruled out through injury. He may want to reconsider that choice after Saturday.

Leiteshas a strong jiu jitsu game and should take care of business in this middleweight bout.

This clash could be wasted on the undercard in Philadelphia. The chances of making it on to the pay-per-view card would have been greater if Leites would of put in a better performance last time out against Silva.

Sakara’s boxing skills make him a danger, but it won’t be enough for an upset. This one should be over fast.
