Payton Talbott Eyes Sean O’Malley After UFC 332 Victory

Payton Talbott secured a TKO victory against former bantamweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo in the co-main event of UFC 332 in Salt Lake City. The 28-year-old fighter, who has now defeated two former champions in succession, used his post-fight interview to challenge Sean O’Malley to a bout.

Talbott acknowledged that a potential fight with O’Malley depends on future divisional developments, specifically the outcome of the upcoming bantamweight title fight between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili on November 24. While O’Malley is currently targeting another title opportunity, Talbott maintains that a matchup between the two strikers would be a compelling addition to the division.
