Sean O'Malley denies he was offered Payton Talbott for the White House: "Absolutely bulls**t"

Talbott said last month he was supposed to fight "Sean" at the White House but his opponents "all had a broken foot". He faces Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 332 tonight.

Sean O'Malley has denied he was ever offered Payton Talbott for the UFC's White House card in June.

"What's up guys, I'm here to f***ing address these rumours that I got offered Payton Talbott for the White House," O'Malley said in a video on his own account. "That is just absolutely bulls**t."

On his YouTube channel last month, asked why he had not been on the White House card, Talbott said: "I was supposed to fight Sean, I was supposed to fight him, I was supposed to fight her, all kinds of names. But supposedly when I was supposed to fight them, they all had a broken foot."

O'Malley did fight at UFC Freedom 250, the White House card, beating Aiemann Zahabi in the second round.

Talbott is back in action tonight against former two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo on the UFC 332 main card in Salt Lake City, which starts at 01:00 UK and Irish time early on Sunday. The full card, with fighters' stats and your picks, is on our UFC 332 page.
