The 28-year-old bantamweight fighter, who is making a comeback after his December 2025 defeat of Henry Cejudo, showcased his formidable stand-up skills during the bout. In the opening 30 seconds, Talbott landed a devastating one-two punch on Figueiredo, who was the current flyweight champion at the time. Talbott then pressed forward relentlessly, overwhelming his opponent with a flurry of punches, ultimately securing the TKO at the 2:09 mark of the first round. Upon hearing the news, Talbott expressed his ambition, saying, \"I just mopped the floor with two champions, back-to-back. And I want another one.\" He specifically mentioned his desire to face Sean O'Malley, the former bantamweight champion. With this victory, Talbott's UFC record now stands at 6-1. Figueiredo, on the other hand, has now lost five out of his past six fights.",
