The fight card will take place on Sunday, October 4, with the card starting from 06:00 AEST.

Quick Picks

Our pick: Talbott to win

Value bet: Fight to go the distance

Long shot: Talbott to win by KO/TKO

Tale of the Tape

We expect Figueiredo to try to close the distance early, using feints and sudden bursts to get inside Talbott’s longer-range attacks. He will want to make the fight super physical.

Talbott’s likely answer is to keep the fight at kicking and punching range, stay light on his feet and score with combinations rather than try to trade single power shots.

His reported significant strike output is substantially higher, and his range management and takedown defence are seen as big strengths.

The key moments may come when Figueiredo gets close. Talbott’s length and volume could help him win the minutes at range, but Figueiredo’s counters and grappling make careless entries costly.

Talbott showed he could mix in takedowns and go the distance against Henry Cejudo. Using that threat selectively could also discourage Figueiredo from charging forward too freely.

How do the two compare? Figueiredo’s figures are first…

• Age - 38 vs 28
• Height - 5'5" (165cm) vs 5'10" (178cm)
• Stance - Orthodox vs Switch
• Record - 25-7-1 vs 11-1-0
• KO Record - 9 vs 7

Betting Markets to Watch

In the latest UFC fight odds, Talbott has been made the huge opening favourite in the moneyline to win this fight because the matchup appears to favour his size, reach and striking output.

Figueiredo is 38 and has lost four of his past five fights, which is also reflected in the price offered.

The fight to go the distance offers some value, as Talbott has seen three of his last fights go all the way, while the Brazilian has also had three of his last five go the distance.

A competitive fight is expected, where Talbott is likely to try and use his reach and higher striking pace to win rounds from the outside, while Figueiredo will look for a big counter, takedown or submission opportunity.

A long shot is for Talbott by TKO/KO. A stoppage is definitely a plausible outcome here, and he has shown he is more than capable of that outcome in two of his last five, but he’s coming up against a tough and experienced opponent.
