Payton Talbott has confirmed he turned down an interview with popular streamer Adin Ross in a particularly interesting manner: he sent Ross a picture of his ballsack.
“It’s like the wierdest thing ever,” Ross said back at the start of November. “I might as well say it now. I asked Payton Talbott to come on the stream and he sent me, like, his balls. I swear to God, he said, ‘Stream these nuts.’ I swear to God. Two big balls. They were hairy.”
“I like Payton as a fighter, but like … you can hate me. I don’t think he wants to do the stream. It’s like okay bet I’m gonna send you one too, but I didn’t send it.”
Now, as Talbott approaches the biggest fight of his career against Henry Cejudo on the main card of UFC 323 on December 6th, the 27 year old bantamweight is giving his side of the Adin Ross balls story.
“I’m just over Adin,” Talbott told Nina Drama in a new video. “I’ve never met the guy, so I don’t really know him. But just the whole stream culture thing, there’s no real substance to it. It’s just the subject that is on the camera. It’s just leechy to me. I don’t know. Rubs me the wrong way.”
Talbott suggested that it wasn’t the first time he’d done something like that, and it wouldn’t be the last.
“Any famous person that reaches out to me like that, I’d usually hit them with something like that,” he said. “Hit them with the balls, yeah.”
This isn’t the first explicit controversy Talbott has been involved with. Earlier in his career he uploaded perhaps the strangest video ever posted by a UFC fighter on the web showing someone using a vape with their butt. After letting the mystery brew for months, he finally came out and said it wasn’t his butt.
“I’ve been pretty quiet about it cuz it’s whatever, but it’s just getting kinda out of hand,” he said back in 2024. “So yeah, the vape video is not me, and that’s all I have to say about it.”
If you wanna pull a ballsack power move, you better have the performances in the cage to back it up. Past a one sided drubbing against a resurgent Raoni Barcelos, Talbott has done that by going 4-1 in the UFC. He’ll need to bring his skills to the next level to beat former two division champ Henry Cejudo in Vegas this weekend.
