Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott prediction, pick, time for UFC 332

UFC 332 features a bantamweight showdown between former champion Deiveson Figueiredo and surging contender Payton Talbott as part of the weekend co-main event lineup. Figueiredo enters the matchup trying to reverse a tough run of form at 135 pounds, having dropped four of his previous five contests, including recent setbacks against Song Yadong and Umar Nurmagomedov.

On the other side, Talbott is looking to maintain momentum after securing consecutive victories against Felipe Silva and Henry Cejudo following his lone professional defeat to Raoni Barcelos.

Analyst projections heavily favor the younger competitor, with betting markets pricing Talbott at -750 and Figueiredo at +490 ahead of their 2026 clash. Experts anticipate a finish before the final bell, predicting that Talbott will utilize his physical advantages to secure a stoppage or a submission victory by the third round.

The broadcast is scheduled to stream on Paramount+ and air on CBS, with the main card fighters expected to make their walk to the cage at approximately 9:40 p.m. Eastern Time.
