At just 25 years old, Thiago is making his 18th appearance since turning professional in MMA. Discovered on ‘Dana White’s Contender Series’, the São Paulo native will have his fourth fight since signing his contract with the UFC. The combatant has two victories and two defeats.

Interestingly, Turner has the same recent record as his opponent. The North American, who also participated in the reality show promoted by White, has not yet managed to achieve a sequence of negative results since his official debut with Ultimate.

Both the Brazilian and Jalin were defeated in their debuts, won the next match, lost again and recovered in their last appearances.

The card in which the athletes were included will be headed by Augusto Sakai and alistair overeem, who are putting on a dangerous duel in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2kg.).
