Erick Silva admits he threw ‘unethical’ punch at UFC 196
Esther Lin, MMA FightingTaleb came out victorious via second-round knockout last Saturday in Las Vegas, improving to 4-1 under the UFC banner, but a left hand he ate in the opening round bothered him. Silva reached out to touch gloves, and connected a punch as soon as Taleb complied.
Taleb called Silva "dirty" for his actions, and the Brazilian issued a statement on his social media apologizing for his controversial punch.
People know nothing about me, but still judge me.
Anyone makes mistakes, me, you, him or them, we all make mistakes and should recognize the mistakes rationally and don’t make it again.
