Payton Talbott Dominates Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 332, Calls Out Sean O’Malley

In a stunning display of skill and power, Payton Talbott defeated Deiveson Figueiredo in just over two minutes during their bantamweight bout at UFC 332, held on October 3, 2026, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Talbott’s performance not only showcased his striking prowess but also solidified his position as a rising contender in the division.

Talbott, who entered the fight as a heavy favourite, wasted no time asserting his dominance. He landed a powerful right hand that sent Figueiredo to the canvas almost immediately. Although the former flyweight champion managed to recover, Talbott maintained relentless pressure, nearly finishing the fight with a knee strike before Figueiredo attempted to clinch and slow the onslaught.

However, Talbott’s relentless attack proved too much for Figueiredo. After separating from the clinch, Talbott landed another significant blow, continuing to overwhelm his opponent until referee Jason Herzog intervened to stop the fight at 2:09 of the first round.

Following his victory, Talbott expressed his excitement, stating, “I just mopped the floor with two champions back to back.” He then called out Sean O’Malley, the former UFC bantamweight champion, indicating his desire for a high-profile matchup. Talbott had previously been offered a fight against O’Malley for the UFC White House card, but the promotion opted for a different opponent. Now, with his latest win, Talbott is eager to secure a bout with O’Malley.

With a professional record now standing at 12-1, Talbott’s impressive performance against Figueiredo adds to his growing reputation in the UFC. Fans and analysts alike are keen to see if the matchup with O’Malley can be arranged, as it promises to be an exciting clash between two of the division’s top fighters.
