WINNIPEG – Nordine Taleb just needed one well-placed kick and one follow-up right hand to end Danny Roberts ’ night just 59 seconds into the opening round . Now the French welterweight faces the question of his future as a free agent. And while he insists it will be with the UFC, he’s less convinced about the weight class. The impressively violent finish should at least help him get some attention, which Taleb (14-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) insisted he was lacking after recent outings. His right high kick caught Roberts (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in the face, staggering him against the fence, and his straight right landed flush while Roberts was still stunned, dropping him to the mat.
