Trending:<\/span>Darren Till gets honest about his performance in win over Yoel Romerosugasean on Instagram<\/span><\/p>\n

Sean O\u2019Malley\u2019s coach Tim Welch has given his thoughts on his student possibly taking on rising star Payton Talbott.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, there\u2019s been a lot of talk about Payton Talbott potentially going up against Sean O\u2019Malley. That talk intensified following Talbott\u2019s big win over Deiveson Figueiredo, after which he called out Suga for a showdown at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

Sean O\u2019Malley responded to this callout, and it seems as if we will have to wait and see what happens in the title picture before we get any clear indication of what\u2019s next for both men.<\/p>\n

In a recent video, O\u2019Malley\u2019s coach Tim Welch had the following to say on the subject.<\/p>\n

Could Sean O\u2019Malley vs Payton Talbott happen?<\/h3>\n

\u201cHenry Cejudo is saying that no one wants to fight Payton Talbott, and I wonder how true that is because I guarantee you Marcus (McGhee) would fight Payton Talbott,\u201d Welch said on his YouTube channel. \u201cI guarantee it. He\u2019d be licking his chops for that fight. \u2026 I mean, Oct. 24, we\u2019re going to find out. We\u2019re going to find out because if Petr loses, dude, \u2018Suga\u2019 vs. Payton Talbott is a sick, sick f*cking fight, dude.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause Payton, the way he fakes his uppercuts, the way he stutters into his jab, stutters into his one-two, it\u2019s almost like he fights just like \u2018Suga.\u2019 Just a titch slower. Just a titch slower, and he comes out and he pressures people, and I just want that fight to happen one day. But I swear on my my father\u2019s life, that fight wasn\u2019t offered to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what I was thinking? I was like, you know what? The UFC could have contacted Payton Talbott, said, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re thinking about something, possibility for the White House. We could think about you and Sean,’\u201d Welch said. \u201cAnd he probably got hyped, but they never came to us with that name, not once. \u2026 DC\u2019s like, \u2018No, forget that. Forget that, Sean. You\u2019re fighting Payton Talbott next.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI think one of the commentators said, I think Sean\u2019s waiting for the title shot. \u2018No, that\u2019s not happening. Come on, now. Don\u2019t be waiting for a title shot, you fight Payton Talbott,\u2019 who hasn\u2019t been ranked. And it\u2019s like, DC, do you remember back when you were fighting for the title, the pay difference? How much more you\u2019d get paid fighting for the title, the world championship, compared to fighting a No. 11 ranked guy now? I wonder if he remembers that.\u201d<\/p>\n
