“And after that [your next fight]Probably Andrew Tate' Helwani proposed.
“Yes,” Talbot replied.
“That's what you want…do you want that?” the master continued.
“I accept that,” Talbot admitted.
Helwani then simply asked, “Why do you hate Tate so much?”
Talbot called Tate his “antithesis” before claiming he was bad for men in general.
“Man. He's the exact opposite of me. … Someone cheated on me when I was younger, and now he seems to have a vendetta against women. I feel like he takes things very seriously, and it's just, like, he's like poison to male culture,” Talbot explained.
Helwani said many agreed with Talbot and said it would be a “great matchup.”

“A lot of times it's gay. It's like, 'He's gay,' or 'He's passionate,' or he's this, he's that,” Talbot added. “I think people have a really hard time fitting me into the identity of a fighter. Hopefully, one day their expectations of a fighter will change. We're just mules who just go out there and beat some shit.” We're both people with hobbies. ”
