Hard to believe Taleb is actually 2-0 in the UFC.

Hard to believe Taleb is actually 2-0 in the UFC.

Considering he lost twice on two different seasons of TUF? Agreed.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

They tried to push this guy so hard. Was on TUF twice and was allowed to try out for a 3rd if I remember correctly.

Pretty sure I had him losing his last fight which he won by split decision

Considering he lost twice on two different seasons of TUF? Agreed.

For the record, I thought he should have gotten the win against Tyler Manaworoa. He's a better fighter than given credit for. Hope he continues to improve and win fights in the UFC

 

[Spycho]

He is the Canadian/French/Algerian Cathal Pendred. Pushed and hyped for all reasons except his skill.

What? Showeather is GOAT nickname.

This reminds of the time a UFC fighter whispered "I'm going to eat your liver with some fava beans" to his opponent as he was choking him out and admitted it to Rogan afterwards. It was quite a while ago, does anyone remember who it was?

[kerozene74]

What's with the "canadian" Nordine Taleb ?
He is french. Period.
Because yes he is a hell of a reason to be proud to be french......wait...what ?

 

[Jawth]

wtf?

Yeah. You could see the guy whisper something in his opponent's ear when he was choking him out. Rogan asked what he said and he said he was going to eat his liver with some fava beans. It's a Silence of the Lambs quote. "Hannibal" nickname made me think about it.
