A star UFC fighter who previously defeated Dricus du Plessis' teammate Cameron Saaiman has set his sights on facing Andrew Tate. The fighter is none other than unbeaten bantamweight prospect Payton Talbott, who will face Raoni Barcelos at UFC 311 on Jan 18 at the Intuit Dome, California.
In a recent interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Talbott shared his thoughts on the former kickboxer. The 26-year-old expressed his desire to challenge the controversial internet personality to a fight, calling out Tate for his actions and beliefs:
"He’s just the antithesis of me. It seems like someone just cheated on him when he was younger, and now he has this vendetta against women. I feel like he takes himself super seriously, and it’s just like, he’s kind of a poison for masculine culture.”

Andrew Tate’s new 'BRUV' political party faces suspension drama on X
Andrew Tate's newly launched political party, BRUV (Britain Restoring Underlying Values), faced an unexpected challenge when its official X account was suspended shortly after its debut. Despite gaining traction, the party’s account was temporarily deactivated, prompting Tate to tag Musk and seek clarification.
"Hello @elonmusk. The account was new and gaining incredible traction. It broke zero rules or guidelines. I have excitedly been contacted by leading figures in the UK establishment today, serious change is coming, the people are ready for a fresh face in UK politics. Only tweeting you to check if this was some sort of mistake?"

Musk, in response, acknowledged the issue but stated he was unsure why the suspension occurred. The account was later restored, and Tate expressed gratitude, writing:
"We are back. Join us @votebruv. We’re taking Britain back to greatness. The revolution will be televised. Thanks, bruv @elonmusk."
