The battle between veteran Deiveson Figueiredo and rising star Payton Talbott will co-headline the UFC 332 card on Saturday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
Due to his two-fight losing skid, Figueiredo enters the clash as the overwhelming betting underdog with +525 UFC odds. Talbott, on the other hand, who’s on a two-fight win streak, is going to be the heavy betting favorite with -750 odds.

UFC 332: Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott: Prediction
A TKO/KO victory for Talbott is my prediction over Figueiredo because he’s the faster and more versatile striker. His favorite combo is his quick one-two punch combination, which he spams his opponents with.
His quickness masks this one-two punch pretty well because opponents can’t telegraph it coming their way. At this point of his career, Figueiredo has lost a step, and Talbott’s explosiveness and power could be too much for him to handle.
Even if Figueiredo forces a grappling-heavy match with his takedown and submission attempts, the youth and athleticism of Talbott will allow him to stop these takedowns and pop right back on his feet to keep the fight standing.
