Erick Silva got cute with Nordine Taleb in the opening round of their UFC 196 welterweight fight.
Following a scramble late in the first round, the Brazilian reached out to touch gloves, and as soon as Taleb complied, Silva popped him with a legal but questionable quick punch to the jaw.
Taleb didn't respond right away. But he had the answer in the second round. Silva threw a kick, Taleb caught it, and landed a picture perfect straight right hand.
Silva crumpled face-first to the mat at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and Taleb added a hammerfist before the referee waved off the bout.
