In short, Taleb has been tasked with protecting a valuable commodity. While the fighter hasn’t formally announced his role, he did post a picture of him next to Neymar on his Instagram account, and both The Sun and Bleacher Report have provided coverage of his possible side job.
The 36-year-old Taleb does not currently have a fight booked with the UFC. He last appeared at UFC Fight Night 109, where he took a three-round verdict against Oliver Enkamp on May 28. The Tristar Gym representative is 5-2 with the Las Vegas-based promotion and 13-4 over the course of a professional career that also includes a three-bout stint with Bellator MMA.
