FS1 Prelims
Erick Silva (18-6) vs. Nordine Taleb (10-3)
Erick Silva, who earned his first six UFC victories by first-round stoppage, will battle Nordine Taleb in a welterweight battle on FS1 this Saturday. Silva joined Kings MMA for this training camp, will be looking to rebound from a split decision loss to Neil Magny in his last fight. Taleb, meanwhile, had won his first three fights inside the Octagon before being submitted by Warlley Alves, a teammate of Silva. If the earlier prelims hadn’t already, this fight should really get the night moving in an exciting direction.
Prediction: Erick Silva still looks like a special talent to me. Silva by TKO.
