Jalin Turner vs Bobby Green Prediction: Protracted Bout of Two Finishers

On the night of December 3rd, the UFC tournament will take place in the United States, with the main event being Tsarukyan vs Dariush. The co-main event will be a confrontation between Jalin Turner and Bobby Green. Turner is filling in for the injured Dan Hooker, who was originally scheduled to fight Bobby Green. The bout will go three rounds and will take place in the lightweight division. In the rating of this division of the UFC, Jalin Turner occupies the twelfth line, and Bobby Green - thirteenth.

So far this year, Jalin Turner is stuck at nothing and has five early victories in the UFC. But come 2023, they started giving him bigger guys, and things stalled - Turner failed both. The good news is that he lost to top fighters - Mateusz Gamrot and Dan Hooker - and he lost them very close, by split decision. Jalin is a versatile fighter with no apparent problems in any part of the fight. All his wins have come early, most of them by knockout.

We know this gentleman well, who lost to Rashid Magomedov, Rafael Fiziev, and Islam Makhachev. He never had big ambitions but fought a lot and was fearless in showing up at short notice. The lucky streak began for Bobby this year. He got quite convenient opponents and dealt with them beautifully. Bobby smothered the legendary but lost his glory Tony Ferguson and knocked out Grant Dawson thirty seconds after the start of the bout.

Turner and Green proudly stay true to the slogan "Not a step back!" before the fight, and the fans love it. But there is another side to the coin. The passionate desire to finish the opponent provokes them to make often lethal mistakes. Bobby Green, for example, has had his last five bouts ended early - two victories, two defeats, and one no-contest).

Most likely, this confrontation will not go to the end either, but it is unlikely to end very quickly as well. The fighters know how to take a punch and, fearing each other, shouldn't start fighting without defense from the first second. But after a few missed shots, when emotions are running high, anything is possible, and only then will the bout between mature fighters start.
