Sean O’Malley says there is no discussion about any Payton Talbott fight at the White House.
Prior to UFC 332, Talbott (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) claimed that he had hinted at this in talks to potentially face O’Malley (20-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) at UFC Freedom 250 this past June and that he had knocked down the former UFC bantamweight team.

Talbott shouted out O’Malley after a dominant Round 1 TKO of Deiveson Figueiredo in Saturday’s UFC 332 co-main event in Lake City. O’Malley responded to a rumor that a fight with Talbott was in the works for the White House – while Talbott was wearing a suit.
“I’m here to f*cking these rumors that I got Payton Talbott for the White House,” O’Malley said (h/t Championship Rounds). “This is absolutely bullsh*t.”
O’Malley, who is coming off a second round TKO of Aiemann Zahabi at the White House, reminds us all of Talbott’s resume.

“4 of the last 7 fights against the three biggest bantamweights of the season,” O’Malley said on his Instagram story. “No one is a duck.”
