Deiveson Figueiredo vs Payton Talbott Result, Score & Stats

💣 Talbott has racked up 11 wins in 12 pro fights, with seven coming by way of knockout. However, only one of those stoppages came in the opening round. Figueiredo, on the other hand, brings a wealth of experience: the former UFC champion has 33 professional bouts under his belt and is no stranger to going the distance in five-round contests. Even during this challenging stage of his career, Figueiredo remains a serious threat in the grappling exchanges and has the tools to make the younger fighter think twice before launching into attacks.

This is a crucial factor when considering the total rounds market. Talbott may hold advantages in size and pace, but he tends to turn up the pressure gradually, while Figueiredo’s savvy means he’s unlikely to concede the early exchanges easily. If the Brazilian is able to tie things up in the clinch and work his wrestling, we should see this bout head deep into the third round. My pick: over 2.5 rounds.
