Erick silva He tried everything he could to get out of his bad phase, but he once again suffered a serious setback in the octagon on Saturday night (5), on the preliminary card of UFC 196. Even though he was visibly more strategic and cautious than usual, the man from Espírito Santo fell to Nordine Taleb by knockout in the second round of the fight.
The Brazilian avoided exposing himself and attacked without haste, especially with kicks to Taleb's thigh and body. The Canadian didn't let it go and he also kicked, in addition to precise counterattacks that hit the Brazilian in the face.
At one point, Erick cornered Taleb against the cage and tried a front kick to the body. However, his opponent was smart: he grabbed the Brazilian's leg and counterattacked with a direct blow to Erick's forehead, who fell knocked out.
Erick silva suffered his sixth defeat in the UFC, against six victories. Taleb is recovering from the setback suffered by the fellow Brazilian Warlley alves and reaches his four Ultimate triumphs.
