Talbott's Rise Since UFC 323 Win Over Cejudo

The 11-1 bantamweight has been on an upward trajectory since running through former two-division champion and Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo at UFC 323 last December. That performance positioned him for the Figueiredo matchup, which represents his biggest test to date in the 135-pound division.

Talbott reflected on how his life has changed over the past 10 months, with his platform growing alongside his success inside the octagon. The interview offered a glimpse into the hobbies and interests that occupy the fighter's time outside of training.
