WATCH: Nordine Taleb gets payback for early cheap shot by knocking out Erick Silva

Take a bow, Nordine Taleb.

Erick Silva paid the price for his unsportsmanlike behaviour against Nordine Taleb on the UFC 196 preliminary card. After being sent to the mat, the Brazilian got back to his feet and outstretched his hand to touch gloves in the first round. With Taleb letting his guard down, Silva then fired a punch at the French native which did not go down well with the crowd inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena. https://twitter.com/ufc/status/706301134885904384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw However, Taleb had the last laugh. The fight finished when a body kick from Silva was caught and the Frenchman immediately countered with a huge right hand straight to his opponent's dome. Silva fell to the mat in a heap and Taleb managed to get one more dig in before the referee awarded him the knockout victory at 1:34 in the second. https://twitter.com/SetantaSports/status/706302835634393088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/ufc/status/706301134885904384
