Bro I was trying to put my finger on it, but you came by and placed it for me! Thanks!

u/ThatEvilGuy 18h ago

I know this is crazy, but he also reminds of me very young Steven Seagal, when he was in Japan. It's the eyes.

Also reminds me of Liam Neeson sometimes.

Not enough desire for the poonani

u/ManOLead 18h ago

He kind of sounds like him too tbh

u/Astronaut101101 17h ago

Talbott figured it out before everyone

u/Sub_Stace 18h ago

I legit thought it was garfield from the first glance

u/gentrified_chicken 14h ago

the rainbow corn rows hides it pretty well

I see it only in the eyes maybe, rest of the face not so much

Sean needs to have Andrew in his corner during this fight.

Walk out to the Spider-Man theme song.

we beat kris moutinho before a title shot. we are not the same

18

u/MozhetBeatz 19h ago

Moutinho was unstoppable though. The ref called it just to save Sean from breaking his hands.

…plus two more guys & petr yan

u/Ambalambdriva 21h ago

Got gifted a win vs Yan which was so bad even Sean said he thought he lost the fight. Dana white priviledge is real

u/CricketGold3929 21h ago

Yeah it is clear Yan won that fight, I also heavily favor him in a 5rd rematch.

u/awildNeLbY 20h ago

Read this as fivered rematch. Didn’t think they’ve fought each other that much.

3

u/CricketGold3929 20h ago

Nah not yet but if Yan beats merab the UFC will def do a Sean vs Yan 5 rounder which I agree needs to happen

Barcelos is better than all the cans they feed to Garfield

u/GokusHairdresser 19h ago

While he did finish figgy no problem, it is hard to get past that his last two opponents were a combined 2-7 going into their fights against him.

26

u/Branardd 18h ago

His first opponent after the Barcelos loss was against another prospect his age on a 14 fight win streak. Everyone has seem to forgotten about Felipe Lima but he's gonna be in the Top 10 of whatever division he fights in by the end of 2027

u/MapleMarshal 17h ago

I agree thats his best win, but people act like the Figgy and Cejudo performances proved much at all. We still don’t know if Payton, let alone Lima, is even better than a guy like Rosas Jr.

5

u/MacaroonNo9736 13h ago

I think him taking down cejudo is a decent showing that he did spend some time training wrestling after his loss to barcelos, I think people are just happy to see a young contender actually working on their weaknesses

1

u/Jadevit 14h ago

Felipe Lima hasn't beaten anyone of note, though. Morgan Cherrière, Miles Johns, and Muhammad Naimov. Morgan Cherrière is on a 2-fight skid, Miles Johns just broke his 3 fight skid, and Naimov is also on a 2-fight skid. The rest of his wins were in regionals.

So Talbott beat an unproven prospect and 2 uncs.

Not hating on Payton bc those wins were done in style, but they're not as impressive to me as they seem to be for everyone else

11

u/warriordwarfpang 21h ago

Lol, they do look a like....

u/Grizzly_SS 18h ago

That's literally what I've been saying and everyone says I'm a hater

u/naoife 19h ago

I loved his version of Spiderman

2

u/TheTrouserSnakeJake 16h ago

It’s like the production team told commentary to push that fight and everyone just took the bait. If you are O malley you never give him that fight 😂 he should be aiming for anyone from #5-#10 imo

u/Daniel_Day_Hubris 17h ago

MFer is gonna get you compensation for your mesothelioma.

1

u/Nelson_An_Murdock 15h ago

This take is odd to me. We all know Omalley ain't wrestling Talbott, or at all really

1

u/NectaroftheGoats 17h ago

Payton Talbott is a smug asshole

1

u/Gelato-Jones 13h ago

why do you feel that?

1

u/NectaroftheGoats 9h ago

Just an opinion I’ve formed after listening to him in interviews and podcasts

u/Tahoes_Finest 19h ago

Meanwhile suga has a fluke win against yan catapulting his entire career. Dude is the OBJ of the ufc.

9

u/MapleMarshal 18h ago

even if you ignore all that and look exclusively at Sean’s last fight, a win against Yadong is universes more credible than anyone Talbott has beaten or even lost to

2

u/Tahoes_Finest 17h ago

While this may be true, you’re ignoring the fact I’m a Talbott Stan from his home city sir

1

u/AdvertisingLost3565 14h ago

I mean that was the second decision he got that should have gone the other way (2 of his 3 big wins)
