Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott prediction, pick, time for UFC 332
Will Payton Talbot earn a signature win over another former champion at UFC 332?
Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbot are set to face off in the co-main event of UFC 332 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Saturday. MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom provides a preview of the matchup, noting that Figueiredo has struggled since moving to bantamweight in December 2023. After winning his first three fights, Figueiredo has dropped four of his past five bouts, including two consecutive losses to Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong.
Talbot, on the other hand, has rebounded nicely from his lone UFC defeat to Raoni Barcelos, with back-to-back wins over Felipe Silva and Henry Cejudo. This will be Talbot's first fight of 2026 after a 10-month hiatus. Experts predict Talbot to either force a stoppage or secure a submission by Round 3. The oddsmakers favor Talbot, listing him at -750 while Figueiredo sits at +490.
The fight is scheduled to start around 9:40 p.m. ET and will air on CBS and live stream on Paramount+.
