UFC Record Breakdown
Jalin Turner is trying to shake off a rough patch, and Kaue Fernandes is the kind of test that'll show us if The Tarantula still has that killer instinct. Turner's coming off a nasty first round KO of Edson Barboza back in December, but before that? He got caught in a triangle by Ignacio Bahamondes in under three minutes. That's two straight years of wild swings between looking unstoppable and getting finished early.
Both guys have been getting it done in the first round lately, so don't blink when the cage door closes.
The lightweight division doesn't give you many chances to figure it out. Fernandes is riding a three fight win streak in the UFC, and here's the thing that makes this dangerous for Turner: the Brazilian is long, rangy, and loves to work at distance. He just chopped down Harry Hardwick with a leg kick in September, then outpointed Guram Kutateladze over three rounds in London. Before that, he starched Mohammad Yahya late in the first round.
Dude's been finishing or dominating, and he's got the kind of reach that can keep Turner's southpaw angles at bay. Turner's at his best when he's pressing forward and landing that left hand or snatching necks, but Fernandes has the tools to make him work for every inch. The Tarantula needs to close distance without eating counters, and that's easier said than done against a Nova Uniao product who knows how to use his length. Turner's shown he can crack anyone, but he's also shown he can get caught if things don't go his way early.
