UFC 317 results: Payton Talbott upsets Felipe Lima in bounce-back victory

Payton Talbott has bounced back. One of the UFC's fastest-rising stars in terms of popularity, Talbott (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) successfully rebounded Saturday at UFC 317 when he upset former OKTAGON champion Felipe Lima (14-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) with a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) victory. The bantamweight bout kicked off the UFC 317 main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A scrambly opening five minutes saw Lima take Talbott to the canvas multiple times and even take his back at one point. But Talbott stayed composed and utilized his aggressive striking Round 2, during which he mounted Lima though could not finish. In Round 3, Talbott overcame some Lima success early to outbattle the Brazilian late in the fight – and subsequently get the nod from all three judges. Talbott, 26, turned heads for his flashy fighting style and unique personality coming out of Dana White's Contender Series in 2023. Following wins over Nick Aguirre, Cameron Saaiman, and Yanis Ghemmouri, Talbott lost for the first time as a pro vs. Raoni Barcelos in January. Lima, 27, loses for the first time since his pro debut in August 2015. Lima defeated Muhammad Naimov and Miles Johns in the UFC prior to Saturday's fight. Up-to-the-minute UFC 317 results:

Payton Talbott vs. Felipe Lima UFC 317 expert pick, prediction Kicking off the paid portion of the card is a prospects battle at bantamweight between Payton Talbott and Felipe Lima. Although it feels like the public has started to turn on Talbott since suffering a vet lesson at the hands of Raoni Barcelos earlier this year, I can't say that I disagree with him being a slight underdog in this spot. I'm a fan of Talbott's style, but Lima has been a fighter I've had my eye on for some time, as he was prominently featured in my prospects to watch column prior to his arrival in the UFC. Lima's striking reminded me of a slightly more dynamic and polished version of Thomas Almeida's striking when he was first stepping onto the UFC stage and has since demonstrated his underrated ground game. Traveling and training with the likes of Khamzat Chimaev and others at places like Allstars Training Center and Bangtao Muay Thai, everything from Lima's wrestling to conditioning appears to be getting better each time out. I'll be curious to see what kind of improvements Talbott was able to make to his defensive wrestling and tactics since his first pro defeat, but I think that the takedowns will be a big back-pocket option for Lima down the stretch. The pick is Lima by unanimous decision. Payton Talbott vs. Felipe Lima UFC 317 odds The oddsmakers and the public are favoring the Brazilian fighter, listing Lima -194 and Talbott +150 via FanDuel.

Universidad de Chile keen to bring Rodrigo Ureña back

The Chilean Rodrigo Ureña is having a great season at Universitario de Perú, where he has become one of the pillars of the team led by Jorge Fossati, and is now preparing for the round of 16 in the 2025 Copa Libertadores (where they face none other than Palmeiras). The 32-year-old midfielder is in his third season with the Lima club, but at one of his best individual moments, including a recent and surprising call-up to the Chilean National Team by Ricardo Gareca. Advertisement Thus, his name is starting to be heard in the transfer market, and Universidad de Chile is at the top of the list of possible new destinations for Ureña. Is he returning to the U? The information emerged from Lima, and they also assure that Rodrigo Ureña is favored by the U's coach, Gustavo Álvarez. The player has a contract with the Peruvian club until December 2026, so if the U wants to sign him, they will also have to negotiate with Universitario. Ureña, who started his career in the youth ranks of Unión Española, debuted in the First Division with the U's jersey, where he couldn't establish himself in the team. He was loaned out on several occasions (playing for Cobresal and Temuco), and then went abroad to play in Colombia (América de Cali and Deportes Tolima), and finally joined Universitario de Deportes in 2023.
