Last weekend, during the UFC’s first show in Liverpool, England, Brazil’s Claudio Silva returned from a four-year hiatus to defeat Canada’s Nordine Taleb by first-round submission.\u00a0<\/a>Apparently, however, the pair very nearly went at it after the fight too.<\/p>\n

According to Silva, who spoke to BloodyElbow<\/a> post-fight, Taleb approached him in the UFC fighter hotel, where he verbally attacked him and challenged him to another fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cNordine Taleb is a very disrespectful individual,\u201d Silva said. \u201cHe\u2019s really arrogant. After the fight, I tried talking to him and he told me not to talk to him. Afterwards, I was sitting at the hotel and he walked by me and I greeted him. He turned around and said \u2018F\u2014k you, you son of a bitch. You\u2019re a piece of sh-t. I\u2019ll beat you 10 times out of 10. Let\u2019s go right now\u2019. I was like \u2018What\u2019s your problem? Are you crazy?\u2019 and he replied by saying \u2018If anybody talks to me like that, I\u2019ll kill them. You\u2019re nobody, you\u2019re sh-t.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the UFC should do something about it,” he added. “Can you imagine if my mom or my son were there to hear those things? That guy is the scum of the sport. That\u2019s what I think. He had 15 minutes to beat me and couldn\u2019t do it. Now he wants to fight on the streets? He has to be banned from the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Taleb’s side of this story has not yet been shared, he did take to Twitter post-fight, where he protested his stoppage loss to Silva.<\/p>\n
