UFC 303 video: Payton Talbott scores ridiculous 19-second knockout of Yanis Ghemmouri
Payton Talbott and Yanis Ghemmouri
Payton Talbott is for real.
One of the most highly touted prospects to ever be signed off of the Contender Series, Talbott stayed undefeated in his third UFC outing with a stunning 19-second knockout of Yanis Ghemmouri.
Watch the blindingly fast finish below.
Talbott (9-0) entered the contest as one of the biggest favorites in UFC history at a staggering -1600 according to Draft Kings Sportsbook, a number that now seems low after the way he ran through Ghemourri.
The Frenchman opened up with a spin kick that Talbott evaded, before connecting with a straight right just moments later. Ghemourri was left stunned on the mat, but referee Chris Tognoni did not step in for the stoppage until Talbott landed a few more heavy punches on the mat.
That’s three finishes in three UFC victories for the 25-year-old Talbott, who has octagon wins over Ghemourri, Cameron Saaiman, and Nick Aguirre.
