Rising bantamweight prospects will square off in March. Cameron Saaiman (9-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) takes on Payton Talbott (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at a UFC Fight Night event March 23 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Both fighters confirmed the news on social media after an initial report by MMA Fighting . Saaiman, a training partner of UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, suffered his first-career setback this past October to Christian Rodriguez. Prior to that, the 23-year-old Dana White’s Contender Series graduate won his first three UFC fights, two by finish. Talbott, also a DWCS graduate, impressed in his octagon debut when he notched his first-career submission of Nick Aguirre at UFC Fight Night 232 .
