Jalin Turner, an American lightweight known as The Tarantula, began his professional mixed martial arts journey in 2016. Before reaching the UFC, he gained experience in organizations like WSOF and Bellator MMA. Representing the RVCA Training Center, he utilizes his significant reach and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu background to hunt for finishes. Over his tenure, he has been awarded several Performance of the Night honors for his efforts inside the octagon.
Entering this contest with a career mark of 16-9-0, Turner arrives with momentum following a recent knockout victory over Kauê Fernandes on August 15, 2026. Previously, he defeated Edson Barboza via strikes in late 2025. This recent success follows back-to-back setbacks against Ignacio Bahamondes and Renato Moicano earlier that year. He also secured a knockout win against Bobby Green in December 2023.
