Payton Talbott launched his first assertion since struggling one of many greatest upsets in UFC historical past.
Talbott went into UFC 311 in Los Angeles boasting an undefeated file of 9-0. Because of this, the Las Vegas native was listed as a large -1200 favourite to come back out on high in opposition to wiley veteran Raoni Barcelos in the course of the preliminary portion of the cardboard.
Defying the chances, the +700 underdog outworked Talbott all through their three-round affair and scored his nineteenth profession win.

On Wednesday, Talbott launched his first assertion following the parlay-killing loss on Instagram.
“The vet gave me my first scar,” Talbott wrote on Instagram. “May the skin heal itself to be strong and never split again. Lucky to have such people in my life. Fortunate to be able to learn valuable lessons. Still had fun.”
Earlier than his loss to the Brazilian, Talbott was 3-0 contained in the Octagon with a third-round rear-naked choke over Nick Aguirre and back-to-back knockouts in opposition to Cameron Saaiman and Yanis Ghemmouri

To be truthful, Talbott has solely been competing as an expert blended martial artist since 2021 whereas Barcelos is a 20-year veteran of the game with seven of these spent below the UFC banner. The win in opposition to Talbott boosted Barcelos’ file contained in the Octagon to 8-4. He has now received his final two bouts.
