Sean O'Malley Responds to Payton Talbott's Callout Following UFC 332

Following his TKO victory over Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City, Payton Talbott used his post-fight interview to call out Sean O'Malley. The 28-year-old bantamweight, who moved to a 12-1 professional record, accused O'Malley of running from a potential contest.

In response, O'Malley posted a screenshot of his recent fight history on Instagram Stories to argue against the ducking accusations. He highlighted that four of his last seven bouts were against prominent bantamweight competitors. O'Malley also released a video clip on social media appearing to mock Talbott’s persona.

The exchange follows recent rumors regarding a proposed fight at the White House for UFC Freedom 250. O'Malley publicly denied those reports on his YouTube channel, dismissing the suggestion that he was ever offered a fight against Talbott at that specific event.
