Sean O’Malley addressed the rumors that he was offered a fight against Payton Talbott at the White House.

Talbott, in a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, shed light on why he didn’t get invited to the White House (UFC Freedom 250). He said:

I was supposed to fight Sean [O’Malley]. 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, however, did feature at the historic event, taking on Aiemann Zahabi. He won the fight via TKO in the second round.

And following Talbott’s recent claim, O’Malley put an end to the rumors of being offered to fight the 28-year-old. Taking to Instagram Stories, ‘Suga’ said, while also sporting a look resembling Talbott:

What’s up guys, I’m here to f*ckin address these rumors that I got offered Payton Talbott for the White House. That’s just absolutely bullsh*it.

Payton Talbott Is Just A Few Hours Away from his fight against Deiveson Figueiredo

Payton Talbott’s next opponent is flyweight great Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 332 – a bantamweight bout, also set to be the co-main event.

Talbott is coming off a unanimous decision win against Henry Cejudo at UFC 323 in December 2025, and is unbeaten in his last two fights.

Figueiredo, meanwhile, is on a two-fight skid, and suffered a submission loss against Song Yadong in May, earlier this year.
