Payton Talbott hype train derailed as fast as it started

[Human Bass]

Raoni served me some delicious crow

Oof. Really thought we had something with Payton. Young man has a LOT to learn.

he got in enough good strikes, i still think he is not bad

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

sad how many old guys are able to beat so many young fighters. Pereira, Barcelos, Glover, Belal.

He's young, he'll come back. A lot of fighters take these losses and come back stronger, Islam got KOed, look at him now.

Even more recently, Raul Rosas Jr. got fraud checked, but has come back to win his last 3. Learn a lot more from a loss.

I thought the hype was warranted. He made Saimann look like a can.

Yup I was on the hype train too, I guess a red flag would be when he backflipped out of a takedown attempt back then. I guess in hindsight that means you cannot defend a takedown.

Reminded me of Sean Omalley, had a good start but seems to suffer from the same fate with pressure and grappling, has a lot of time and at least didnt took a major beating this time.

It’s good he got this lost early in this career and if he’s really dedicated and learn from this he will improve or he’s just going to be another stubborn fighter. He’s young but compare him to other fighters his age the gap in skills is wide.

Needs to move to Dagestan for 1 year

I think they wouldnt welcome him there... Not even a trip to Mecca would help his case

 

[Koro_11]

he's a bit cocky, but the painted toenails makes you mad?

Who’s mad? I’m laughing at him lol

Ya painted toe nails are cool, assuming they’re on a girl.

yeah but the difference is Islam got fluke KO'd. Talbott was just dominated for 15 minutes by a 37 yr old.

Oh nevermind. One of the resident war room sherfronters.

Glutton for being a whiny bitch based on this thread

That’s exactly I never subscribe to the notion of fighters being out of their prime after a loss. Hell people are already saying Leon Edward’s is washed. Age is the biggest myth when it comes to a decline of MMA fighters, if anything MMA has shown that athletes had a longer shelf life than other sports.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Yup

A hypothetical isn't a good base for comparison. He got caught, we don't know how the fight would have gone if he hadn't got caught, cause he did.

Anyway, there are many other examples of people bouncing back. Payton is 26, he's got 10 years left in the sport at minimum

Hear hear. This is the point where things actually get interesting. Will he be the type to get discouraged, or will he take it as a wake-up call? Now we find out.

And personally I prefer having hype trains stalling out. Crazy adulation of people lionizing you and the pressure of their expectations, especially when you're young, just isn't healthy for one's development.

When will people ever learn?

saimaan is just small for the division

 

[RainyMonday]

I thought he showed some pretty incredible composure tonight. Didn't expect him to hang on after that first round.

[WoozyFailGuy]

When he cut his hair, it was Samson all over.

Him and Reese both tonight.
Imagine buzzing that mullet.
