Media Payton Talbott Is Sean O'Malley 2.0 - Update: Calls Out Dominick Cruz Next Fight

[Black9]

Jesus christ he looks crisp and he supposedly has really good BJJ as well.
He just ran through another touted prospect.

Update: He's called out Dominick Cruz which is a solid callout

I know one when I see one. I said the same about O'Malley back in like 18 or 19 (look it up, there's a thread out there somewhere).

This kid just has it.

 

[Fact Checker]

He has some very impressive intangibles… his shot placement and ability to roll with punches at the precise point are very impressive, that’s just natural talent.


With some good coaching and management this guy can be a player at FW… the UFC may have found a hidden gem.

Future champ in UFC

 

[generalyum]

Definitely someone to look out for. Super impressed by how he dominated Saaiman

 

[Actualized174]

Yup, ngl kid looks promising. Very clean and accurate, composed and just smooth with it. Looking forward to his next challenge

 

[Portland8242]

Beautiful slick counter right to start that finish.

 

[Istryker]

W

 

[tritestill]

I've said it in two other threads, and I'll say it here too. Future champ UFC.

Let him fight better competition

 

[FrankDux]

He's got a lot of ACCURATE POWER for that weight class. A dangerous combo.

 

[Streeter]

Hype Train has now left the factory

 

[NoSmilez]

TOo early

 

[Streeter]

Of he gets Tdd he could ne a force. He's building momentum for certsin

 

[GonzagaSokoudjouGuillard]

He looked really fucking good but so have guys like Kyler Phillips against the likes of Song Yadong. Extremely premature. He had zero heat coming back his way.

Definitely a talent to keep an eye on but 135 is a killer division.

 

[Bubba Kid]

Reminds me of Conor on the come up.

 

[HolmeZy55]

Pump the breaks bro, you guys always do this.

Not saying he doesn't have a lot of upside but sheesh wait until these guys face actual top comp before declaring them future champions.

Yup, ngl kid looks promising. Very clean and accurate, composed and just smooth with it. Looking forward to his next challenge

There’s certain things you can’t teach. I remember Jorge in his prime had this uncanny ability to slip punches at the exact second before impact with the most minimal movement… Talbott has something similar to that where he has no exaggeration in his defense and gets just enough out of the way to take the pop out of significant strikes and remain in position to land counters.


I hope his team can continue to build him up appropriately.


I haven’t been this impressed with a new FW since Lopes and Topuria before him.
