A lightweight clash between Jalin Turner and Ignacio Bahamondes will serve as a main card bout for UFC 313 later tonight (March 8) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
While Turner (14-8) is one of the more exciting contenders outside of the divisional rankings, his recent run in the UFC has left a lot to be desired. 'The Tarantula' is 2-3 in his last five fights, most recently suffering a second-round TKO loss to Renato Moicano.
However, Turner holds wins against the likes of King Green and Brad Riddell, among others.
Bahamondes (16-5), meanwhile, is on a two-fight win streak, most recently clinching a TKO win over Manuel Torres. A win this weekend will see the Chile native break into the rankings.
