A report from the Canadian Press states that Tristar Gym prospect Nordine Taleb has signed with the Bellator Fighting Championship.

Although the report calls Taleb a Canadian, he is actually a native of France, who decided to make the move to Montreal several years ago so that he could train with some of the outstanding fighters that Tristar has to offer, such as the UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre, and wunderkind Rory Macdonald.

As reported by MM-eh several days ago, Taleb and John Makdessi are currently training in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the famed Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA.
