Payton Talbott and Esteban Ribovics Claim First-Round Finishes at UFC 332

A dominant display of striking defined the night at Salt Lake City’s Delta Center, where rising bantamweight Payton Talbott dismantled former champion Deiveson Figueiredo. The co-main event victory headlined a series of rapid-fire finishes for the Monster Energy fight team, shifting the momentum for several contenders in the promotion.

Talbott, 28, secured his victory at 2:09 of the opening round, using a relentless barrage of one-two combinations to overwhelm Figueiredo. The Reno native, now 12-1, wasted no time calling out Sean O’Malley following the stoppage. His performance earned him a $25,000 finish bonus, capping a night where he showcased the precision that previously dismantled Henry Cejudo.

In the lightweight division, Esteban Ribovics moved past Bobby "King" Green in a catchweight bout marked by repeated knockdown power. After missing weight, the Argentinian fighter neutralized Green’s experience with a series of heavy hooks, forcing referee Herb Dean to intervene at 4:08 of the first round. Earlier, Johnny Walker made a successful heavyweight transition, needing only 3:35 to dispatch Mick Parkin with a combination of elbows and knees. Walker’s debut performance, which secured a $100,000 bonus, signals a volatile shift for the veteran as he climbs into the new weight class.
