Even though Payton Talbott is not even two years into his UFC career, he has already cultivated quite a reputation. He is not only arguably the brightest and most-hyped prospect on the roster, but also one with a distinct personality.
When it comes to mixed martial arts, it doesn’t take a whole lot to come off as “different.” Sure, fighters are already two steps to the side of “normal” — you have to be in order to get punched for a living — but Talbott is moving to his own beat in a variety of his ways. In the Octagon, he is eerily calm, as well as shockingly devastating.
