A few minutes into the bout, “Deus da Guerra” looked hurt and gassed already. Although the 38-year-old initially managed to survive the knockdowns, Talbott kept tracking him down and punishing him.

Eventually, the 28-year-old backed Figueiredo against the fence before going for the final kill with nonstop strikes, forcing the referee to step in and stop the fight.
