Who is Neymar’s bodyguard in PSG who fights in UFC: his videos

Yesterday we spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo’s bodyguards he brought from Portugal to follow him in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Now we will go across the border and move to Paris, where we’ll know about Neymar’s safety crew. It is composed by a main character who has quite a background in wrestling.

Nordine Taleb started working with Neymar when he arrived in PSG. He was born near the coast of Saint-Tropez. He is 39 years old and has been involved in UFC for a long time. As per UFC’s official website, he was mainly active between 2014 and 2019 holding a record of 15-7-0. No, we are not talking about soccer.

Some time ago he made an appearance in the UFC Fight Night Moncton in New Brunswick, Canadá. One of the evening’s attraction was himself. In front of him was United States’ Sean Strickland, who gave him absolutely no choice at all during the combat an knocked him out. Despite his defeat he severely criticized the referees who let many combats go along with dangerous hits.

As per Neymar, he trusts his security to Taleb, who announced his retirement from martial arts by the end of 2019. On his last fight he lost by knockout against Muslim Salikhov, a Russian wrestler born in Makachkala, Dagestan. Will Taleb move with Neymar in case he ever returns to Barcelona and play again with the Blaugranas?
