Payton Talbott is ranked #11 at UFC bantamweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
On the feet he's a problem: 6.62 significant strikes a minute at 61% accuracy, and 64% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.
Most recent outing: a win over Henry Cejudo via decision - unanimous. Business handled.
