Send us an email at kfontes@heraldnews.com or news@heraldnews.com Payton Talbott is one of the hottest prospects in the UFC today and has so far delivered inside the octagon with a trio of finishes. Raoni Barcelos, a bantamweight veteran of 11 UFC bouts, vows to derail that hype train Saturday at UFC 311 Barcelos and Talbott meet on the preliminary portion of the pay-per-view and the Brazilian is shocked that he’s such a massive underdog against the much younger fighter in Los Angeles “No disrespect to those who have fought [Talbott] but he hasn’t been tested yet,” Barcelos told MMA Fighting I believe my game and what we’re preparing to do so I think everybody’s going to be surprised.” “That has motivated me to be here and show a good work,” Barcelos said To be overlooked and underestimated after everything I’ve done in MMA This kid has three fights in the UFC so it’s kind of surreal This is my motivation to be there and give my best to come out with the win for Brazil Talbott being the biggest favorite of the night doesn’t necessarily mean he’s also buying the hype but I had three or four UFC fights already and was asking for ranked opponents,” Barcelos said I got to the ranking after beating Said [Nurmagomedov] and left quickly with a game that can change the fight entirely I think he has to be worried about me because I’m not a kid,” he continued I’m the one that can be relaxed because I have no pressure over me I’m going there to have fun and do a good job.” With his opponent entering UFC 311 on two knockouts and one submission since joining the promotion through Dana White’s Contender Series Barcelos looks at his own grappling background as key to shock the MMA world “It’s definitely a submission,” Barcelos said of how he wins Saturday It makes no sense to trade with a striker that is knocking everybody out that’s where I’ll see the opening and attack I’m motivated to go there and do a good job.” Undefeated Bantamweight Umar Nurmagomedov Squares Off Against Cory Sandhagen In The Main Event At UFC Abu Dhabi Payton Talbott was thought of as almost an insurmountable favorite heading into his fight with Raoni Barcelos at UFC 311. The talented 26-year-old bantamweight dominated his previous three UFC outings, but at UFC 311 he fell short during one of his few in-the-cage moments of fighting adversity Talbott lost to Barcelos by unanimous decision at UFC 311 for the first defeat of his professional MMA career Despite a late comeback bid anchored by some dangerous flying knees Talbott’s rally wasn’t enough to change the tide on the judges’ scorecards Talbott entered UFC 311 as the biggest betting favorite on the card entering his fight with Barcelos. His 19-second knockout in his most recent outing over Yanis Ghemmouri was enough for many to give Barcelos little chance against Talbott in their matchup Barcelos’ wrestling smothered Talbott from start to finish, as well as his timely striking as the fight went on. After an up-and-down start to his UFC tenure Barcelos earned arguably the biggest win of his career at UFC 311 It didn’t take long for Talbott to issue his first post-fight remarks on social media Talbott shared a meme/video of a man saying ‘I lost’ as a flurry of supporters blanketed him with cheers The post got a lot of traction on social media in his first post-fight comments For the first time in his professional career Talbott will look to bounce back from defeat and get back on track in the Octagon in his next appearance The former Dana White’s Contender Series standout defeated Nick Aguirre Talbott won his first nine professional fights entering the clash with Barcelos Talbott enjoyed successful stints in Urijah Faber’s A1 Combat and FirePower promotions Payton Talbott just posted this on his social media reacting to his loss at UFC 311#UFC311 pic.twitter.com/XorqcOYMcJ Talbott earned a UFC contract by outpointing Reyes Cortez Jr by unanimous decision during the 2023 season of DWCS He got the attention of the UFC matchmakers by earning the A1 Combat bantamweight championship and defending the belt twice against Anthony Jimenez and Hector Fajardo Talbott topped Islam Makhachev, Umar Nurmagomedov and other top names as the biggest betting favorite of the UFC 311 fight slate He was one of the most decisive betting favorites in recent UFC history joining the ranks of Bo Nickal and Isaac Dulgarian While Talbott’s beginning to 2025 wasn’t what he expected he’ll look to get back on track in his next fight and move closer to the bantamweight Top 15 Barça staged a dramatic comeback in Portugal securing a crucial 4-4 draw against OC Barcelos David Cáceres’ team managed to fight back with goals from Marc Grau This result keeps Barça in control of their own destiny as they push for a place in the quarter finals of Europe’s premier club competition as Danilo Rampulla put Barcelos ahead in the third minute Marc Grau responded with a stunning long-range strike to level the score the Portuguese side quickly regained control with Rampulla converting a direct free hit before Vieirinha and Miguel Rocha extended the lead to 4-1 while Barça fought to get back into the game Their perseverance paid off in the final minutes followed by Alabart converting a direct free hit to make it 4-3 and need to win their next two matches to reach the quarterfinals starting with a crucial clash against Reus on February 19 Most of the attention leading up to the UFC's first Pay-Per-View event of the year was understandably focused on the card's bantamweight and lightweight title bouts but Talbott was arguably the fighter that received the biggest promotional push from the organization outside of those main and co-main event matchups UFC 311 Free Live Stream Results & Highlights – Islam Makhachev vs. Renato Moicano Entering the Barcelos matchup with an undefeated record and three stoppage-wins out of three Octagon appearances Talbott was lined as the biggest pre-event favorite at UFC 311 before Renato Moicano stepped up for a short-notice title bid against Islam Makhachev Longtime UFC veteran Barcelos represented a significant step up in competition for the 26-year-old and the Brazilian wasted little time before he decided to test Talbott's takedown defense and skills on the mat Talbott did well to escape some dangerous submission attempts during the course of a dominant opening round for Barcelos but after landing a few clean punches to start the second frame he once again found himself on his back Grant Dawson Calls Out Beneil Dariush after Dominant Win at UFC 311 The two men briefly returned to their feet following a scramble before Barcelos landed another takedown and quickly moved into mount Another brief sequence on the feet saw Talbott land a few more clean strikes but the second round ended with Barcelos in top position Clearly in need of a finish if he wanted to preserve his undefeated record Talbott gave it his all in the third frame but was unable to solve Barcelos' grappling and ultimately lost a unanimous decision to give the Brazilian back-to-back victories WHAT A NIGHT FOR @BarcelosRaoni!

His stock skyrocketed even higher with dominant wins over Cameron Saaiman and Yanis Ghemmouri the latter of whom he knocked out in less than 20 seconds Talbott gears up to face his stiffest test yet in Raoni Barcelos, a bantamweight mainstay who acted as a stepping stone on Umar Nurmagomedov’s path to UFC gold It could soon be time for Talbott to take this same journey Barcelos debuted in the UFC in 2018, defeating future The Ultimate Fighter Season 31 winner Kurt Holobaugh by uppercut in the first round Barcelos then appeared on the The Ultimate Fighter Season 28 finale prelims, where he defeated Chris Gutierrez. Gutierrez would go on to win his next eight fights, including a stunning knee knockout over former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar Barcelos’ best-aged victory is his unanimous decision over Said Nurmagomedov, who has gone 5-1 in the UFC since.

ranked veteran Tagir Ulanbekov facing off with unbeaten Dana White’s Contender Series grad Clayton Carpenter in a competitive battle in the flyweight division Ulanbekov leaned on his grappling throughout the contest controlling large portions of the opening frame from top position landing solid shots before finding a similar position but less success in the back half of the second and third Carpenter had his moments off his back in the first and on top in the second but was never able to build enough consistent significant momentum to truly threaten the Top 15 fixture with all three judges scoring the fight in favor of the Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov disciple Ulanbekov has now won three straight and five of six inside the Octagon cementing his place in the rankings and adding him to the growing list of streaking talents looking to make waves in the 125-pound ranks in 2025 In his first full-camp appearance inside the Octagon, Benardo Sopaj showed he’s a promising addition to the bantamweight division, out-working TUF winner Ricky Turcios to register his first UFC victory The 24-year-old from Albania showed elements of a complete skill set and having positive moments in the grappling interactions as well Turcios was dogged in his pursuit of his young foe pressing from the outset and showing greater offensive urgency than he had in any previous outings but was simply unable to manufacture enough meaningful offense to swing things in his favor but the Houston native managed to survive and make it to the final horn Sopaj swept the scorecards, advancing to 12-3 with the victory, while Turcios fell to 12-4 with his second straight loss and third defeat in his last four fights.Main Card Results | Official Scorecards Muin Gafurov carried over the form that produced his first UFC win last year on Saturday, handing Rinya Nakamura the first loss of his professional career The experienced hand from Tajikistan stung Nakamura in both the first and second rounds taking advantage of his tendency to keep his head on the center line by connecting with heavy overhand blows that put the unbeaten Japanese prospect on the deck backing him up with a side kick to the body and generally dominating the striking exchanges While Nakamura had a brief period of control on the canvas in the third this was an outstanding performance from Gafurov from the jump After dropping his first two UFC appearances the 28-year-old has now earned consecutive victories to establish himself as a dark horse in the talent-rich bantamweight division Ailin Perez and Karol Rosa continued the trend of fights going the full allotted time tactical scrap in the bantamweight division to close out the UFC 311 early prelims Perez did well to utilize her wrestling at opportune times changing

intent but never getting close to creating a finishing opportunity.  registering her fifth straight UFC victory The charismatic Argentine is the owner of the longest active winning streak in the

grappling entanglements throughout the bout working back into effective positions in the spare moments when Ferreira attacked there and keeping the Brazilian pinned to the canvas whenever he initiated with Dawson quickly working back into the clinch and returning Ferreira to the mat That’s now three straight for the American Top Team representative Dawson and six wins in his last seven appearances having continually improved the efficiency of his game and should get a chance to re-enter the Top 15 at some point later in the year Bogdan Guskov had to navigate some rough terrain early in the fight, but once he cleared the choppy seas, he dominated, securing a second-round finish over late replacement Billy Elekana to end the run of decisions at UFC 311 taking him down and climbing onto his back locking in a body triangle and staying there But Guskov got free and dominated the final stretch of the first locking up a choke where Elekana was saved by the horn He remained aggressive in the second and took the fight to the fading newcomer punishing him with strikes before clamping onto a choke and drawing out the tap That’s now three straight wins and three straight finishes for the ascending light heavyweight from Uzbekistan but Guskov dealt with it well and showed his class by cranking up the pressure and collecting the finish in the second Welcome to the UFC, Azamat Bekoev The American Top Team representative and former LFA champion registered a first-round knockout win over Zachary Reese finishing the DWCS graduate with heavy shots from inside his guard The power generated

watch going forward Veteran Raoni Barcelos handed Payton Talbott the first loss of his professional career leaning on his grappling and superior control to dominate the fight on the canvas The 38-year-old Brazilian wisely took Talbott down early and often advancing positions and threatening with chokes roughing him up with strikes when the time called for it While Talbott did well at times to work to his feet and landed some solid strikes when the two opted to stand and trade Barcelos was always quick to get him back on the canvas That’s now consecutive wins over quality prospects for

The 37-year-old Brazilian won a unanimous decision over the 26-year-old American, despite being the biggest betting underdog on the entire UFC 311 card. Talbott was a 12-to-1 favourite and regarded as a top prospect in the bantamweight division after starting his mixed martial arts career 9-0.  Barcelos got off to a strong start in the cage Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. on Saturday by taking Talbott to the ground early and often, putting his wrestling to use throughout the 15-minute preliminary bout and landing multiple takedowns in all three rounds. Talbott earned a UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender’s Series in 2023 and picked up three consecutive highlight finishes that contributed to his potential being highlighted this week. None of that mattered to Barcelos, however, and the veteran 135-pounder frequently took mount and back control and registered multple submission attempts. Talbott was one of three unbeaten fighters who competed on the UFC 311 preliminary card and none emerged with their unblemished records intact. Touted Japanese wrestler Rinya Nakamura fell to 9-1 after being upset by Muin Gafurov, a former LFA titleholder, who’s now riding a two-fight winning streak after beginning his UFC career 0-2 Khabib Nurmagomedov, the retired former UFC lightweight champion, made his first appearance of the evening in his role as coach and cornerman when Tagir Ulanbekov became the first person to defeat Clayton Carpenter in the opening bout of the night. Ulanbekov was one of three Khabib pupils at UFC 311. His teammates Islam Makhachev and Umar Nurmagomedov were featured at the top of the card in the main and co-main events, taking on Renato Moicano and Merab Dvalishvili, respectively. The 33-year-old from Dagestan was ranked as the No. 11 contender in the flyweight division prior to improving to 16-2 in MMA and said in his post-fight interview he has his sights set on the current 125-pound champion, Alexandre Pantoja. Ulanbekov is now 5-1 at the UFC level and has taken down his opponent in all six of his Octagon appearances. In other preliminary action, Azamat Bekoev had a successful UFC debut and put himself on the map in the UFC’s middleweight division with a first-round knockout of Zachary Reese. Bekoev was the reigning LFA champion when he got the call to replace Sedriques Dumas earlier this week and he made quick work of Reese, raining down nasty ground-and-pound strikes that rendered Reese unconscious. Bogdan Guskov extended his winning streak at 205 pounds by tapping out short-notice replacement opponent Billy Elekana twice but only getting credit for one. Elekana had early success with a takedown but was unable to capitalize on his positional advantage. At the end of the opening round, Guskov locked in a choke and Elekana tapped out except it happened after the round ended so the fight went to Round 2. Guskov, who was originally slated to Johnny Walker, began battering Elekana along the fence with punches and eventually sunk in another choke that resulted in another Elekana tap. This time it was official and Guskov extended his finishing streak to three. Walker announced last weekend he sustained an unspecified “bad injury” in training that led to his withdrawal. Grant Dawson was not ranked in the top 15 at 155 pounds heading into Saturday’s action but that could soon change after Dawson picked up the biggest win over his UFC career to date. Dawson swept the scorecards and snapped Carlos Diego Ferreira’s hot streak with a thorough three-round showing. The 30-year-old Dawson is now 11-1-1 since debuting in the UFC in 2019. Diego Ferreira, 40, has been one of the more unheralded veterans in the deep lightweight division and had knocked out Mateusz Rebecki and Michael Johnson in his previous two bouts. Bernardo Sopaj rebounded from a brutal knockout loss he suffered in his UFC debut more than 10 months ago, winning a unanimous decision over Ricky Turcios.   The 24-year-old from Sweden went back to the drawing board after being put out cold by a Vinicius Oliveira flying knee with a more reserved and methodical approach in his second UFC appearance. Sopaj landed fewer total strikes than Turcios in the 15-minute bout but his were deemed more effective. Turcios is a past winner of The Ultimate Fighter but has lost three of his past four outings dating back to 2021.

Barcelos prediction and preview in the bantamweight division tonight Odds via DraftKings as of Friday night Crowdsourced Projections: Payton Talbott (87.8%) Talbott has potentially overtaken Bo Nickal as the most exciting prospect in the UFC The undefeated 26-year-old striker has drawn comparison to Sean O’Malley with his size for 135 pounds He lands 8.4 significant strikes per minute Talbott’s moneyline will close north of -1000 for the second consecutive fight but Raoni Barcelos is far more decorated than recent opponent Yanis Ghemmouri including Brazilian national wrestling and Nogi grappling titles but he’s 37 years old and at a severe size (3-inch discrepancy in height and reach) and speed disadvantage in this matchup If Barcelos can get the fight to the ground he could potentially test Talbott’s submission defense but that’s the only way I see the Brazilian pulling off a significant upset when there is at least a decade in age between MMA opponents the younger fighters have won 72.3% of the time at average odds of -140 (58.5% implied) it’s on Talbott to win by decision (projected +267 listed +320) or the fight to go to decision (projected +210 given the age
