Payton Talbott is known for producing highlights in his fights, and he may have just had his best performance ever against Yanis Ghemmouri at UFC 303.
Talbott threw a right jab and a powerful left hand that dropped Ghemmouri. A couple of follow-up shots led to the referee stepping in, with Talbott putting “The Desert Warrior” away officially in 19 seconds.
This quick finish earned Talbott the second-fastest finish in UFC bantamweight history.
