Preview

An absolute banger in the Lightweight division is upon us, as the undefeated Serbian Uros Medic takes on the surging ‘Tarantula’ Jalin Turner. Medic enters this fight a perfect 7-0, having most recently defeated Aalon Cruz via stoppage in his UFC debut. The Alaskan born Medic is a bonafide finisher, having stopped all seven of his opponents. Meanwhile, Turner has won two straight fights, as well as three of his last four. The ‘Tarantula’ too is a finisher, having stopped all ten of his opponents. With both fighters boasting 100% finishing rates, don’t expect this one to see the scorecards.

Prediction

This is an exciting fight and a definite contender for ‘Fight of the Night’. While it’s plausible it doesn’t last long, the potential for fireworks is ever so apparent. Uros Medic is an excellent striker, who throws combinations and attacks the body with vicious leg kicks. While the sample size is small, Medic currently is landing nearly 20 significant strikes a minute. Obviously a number that’s not sustainable, but a glimpse into the sheer output from the Rafael Cordiero product. Jalin Turner too lands with high output, often leaning on his jab. Standing at a staggering 6’3, with a 75.5’ reach, Turner has tremendous size for the division. 

As for a prediction, I’m going with Medic. While Turner has fought the better competition, he has some vulnerabilities that don’t go unnoticed. For one, of Turner’s five losses, three have been via knockout. A lack there of striking defense is the culprit, as Turner is absorbing a little more than four significant strikes a minute. In Turner’s last fight, he allowed Brok Weaver to land often. Against a powerful striker like Medic, that will be Turner’s downfall. So with that said, I predict that Medic wins this fight via knockout.
