Sean OMalley responds to bullsh*t rumor started by Payton Talbott

Sean O'Malley says there was no discussion to ever fight Payton Talbott at the White House.

Prior to UFC 332, Talbott (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) claimed he was in talks to potentially face O'Malley (20-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) at UFC Freedom 250 this past June and insinuated that the former UFC bantamweight champ turned him down.

Talbott called out O'Malley after scoring a dominant Round 1 TKO of Deiveson Figueiredo in Saturday's UFC 332 co-main event in Salt Lake City. O'Malley responded to the rumor of a fight with Talbott being in the works for the White House – while dressed like Talbott.

"I'm here to f*cking address these rumors that I got offered Payton Talbott for the White House," O'Malley said (h/t Championship Rounds). "That is just absolutely bullsh*t."

O'Malley, who's coming off a second-round TKO of Aiemann Zahabi at the White House, reminded everyone of his resume vs. Talbott's.

"4 out of the last 7 fights have been against three of the greatest bantamweights of all time," O'Malley said on his Instagram story. "Ain't ducking no one."
