Thales Leites to Face Herman

After being moved to the UFC Fight for the Troops 3 Rafael Natal is being replaced by Thales Leites in his showdown with Ed Herman at UFC 167. Both middleweights, Herman and Leites, are coming off of victories in their last bouts.

UFC 167 Keeps Getting Better

UFC 167 is already one the most stacked cards in UFC history, but has been announced that two of the UFC's most entertaining middleweights will will be squaring off in the octogon.

Rafael Natal and Ed Herman will be going to war on the UFC 167 card in Las Vegas for the UFC's 20th anniversary card. Rafael Natal is coming off a spectacular Fight of the Night performance against Tor Troeng at UFC Fight Night 28. Rafael Natal won his hard-fought battle with the Swedish TUF 18 alumni via decision.

Ed Herman is also coming off of a Fight of Night victory in his last bout against Trvor Smith back in July at UFC on FOX.

This will be an excellent fight bewtween two entertainers. I give the edge to Rafael Natal in this bout.
