Leite lost to Phil Davis via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at Bellator 186 on Friday in New York City.

ANALYSIS
Leite is mostly a grappler, and he struggled to implement offense in this fight. He could not drag Davis to the ground, and in the striking exchanges Davis seemed to be a step ahead. Leite should be able to stick around the Bellator light heavyweight division and win more than he loses. This fight was just a tough style match-up for him. After suffering his first professional loss, Leite's record falls to 10-1.
