Payton Talbott May Be The UFC's Next Big Star

Payton Talbott may just be the next big star in the UFC. He moved to 5-1 in the company tonight with his second straight dominant win over a former champion (first Henry Cejudo, and now Deiveson Figueiredo) and he did it in style. 

That was Talbott's third knockout in the UFC and reminded everyone what he was capable of when he was first being hyped as a prospect a couple years ago.

I think the UFC knows how popular he is already, considering he was the thumbnail on every episode of Embedded this week....

People outside of the MMA world even know him because he's very close friends with Frank Ocean….

….and he called out Sean O'Malley in his post-fight interview, which would be an AWESOME fight that would catapult his name value tenfold. Even though it's a longshot and kind of a no-win situation from Suga, I would love to see that.

P.S. We interviewed Talbott earlier in the week - you can watch that below….
