A dominant performance and a spectacular knockout marked Payton Talbott's night at UFC Vegas 89, an event held this Saturday (24). The North American dominated Cameron Saaiman from start to finish, culminating in a searing left hook that led to victory in the second round.

The knockout even reminded those of Alex Poatán, whose main feature is the left cross, precisely what made Talbott beat Saaiman.

Talbott dominated the first round with his constant pressure and accurate strikes. A devastating knee to the neck shook Saaiman, who resisted bravely, but showed the effects of the punishment.

In the second round, the North American gave his opponent no chance. With just 21 seconds left, he delivered a flawless left hook that sent Saaiman to the canvas, semi-conscious. The referee intervened promptly, declaring the technical knockout and the American's spectacular victory.

With the triumph, Talbott consolidates his rise in the bantamweight division and places himself as a strong candidate to enter the top 15. In his career, there are now eight positive results and none negative. Saaimon, in turn, feels the bitter taste of the second setback, while he also has nine other triumphs.
