Fight Preview
Jalin Turner has become one of the UFC’s most feared 155-pounders due to his power-packed punches that can knockout almost anyone within their division with ease, yet also being an aggressive competitor who goes the distance when necessary. Now, Turner will get another opportunity to show his abilities when he faces Dan Hooker at UFC 290 on Saturday July 7th in Vegas.
At 155 pounds, 2 of the longest fighters, both thrive at long-range punching but aren’t reluctant to engage in close-quarters brawls. There is an abundance of talent above the #11 and #12 seeded fighters, with championship desires, and International Fight Week is the best venue for them to prove to the public that they belong in the competition. Though not one of the more high-profile fights on the card, this bout should still provide entertaining action to fans who know and expect more than a typical fight from these two competitors.
Hooker remains one of the top contenders at 155 pounds despite losing to Islam Makhachev last time out, thanks to his experience and ability to take on some of the best fighters around – making him an unpredictable opponent who poses serious threats in any fight he enters into. But with him nearing 33 and not young enough for Turner’s younger fighter to give much chance of victory here.
Turner comes into this fight off of an impressive first round TKO win against Claudio Puelles last November, hoping to climb up the rankings with another victory and move closer to title contention. This bout provides him with that opportunity. As such, this fight is essential if the American wishes to continue his ascension into lightweight rankings.
Turner’s strategy in this situation is straightforward: grab Hooker’s chin. Speed and durability, two qualities that were traditionally crucial to Hooker’s success, appear to have slipped a bit. Turner ought to have the advantage in this fight because he is younger and has a shorter history.
