I double checked and nope... Co main event is Jalin Turner vs Bobby Green. It really looks like the UFC is trying to give Turner another decent match up to move up the ranks. They gave him Dan Hooker in his last fight and he looked good at the first round but then dunno... It was like a switch flipped him off and it suddenly became all Hooker at the second half of R2 and all Hooker at R3. Did Turner gas out, I have no idea. But something looked wrong with him after R1... I guess we'll find out during media day. Let's see what he has to say about that loss if it comes up.
Anyway I think it's massive disprespect for Fig that he's bumped a notch down the roster.
Oh! sorry, I thought that the Dan Hooker vs. Bobby Green fight was canceled but Jalin Turner accepts the challenge against Bobby Green which was still the Co-Main Event, I have looked at the Topology, and Rob Font and Deiveson Figueiredo was on the 2nd line for this event, but yeah Bobby Green still wants to fight for sure and I never realized that the UFC will just change Dan Hooker with Jalin Turner but I think that was good enough,
I really don't know why Jalin Turner that has lost to Dan Hooker but for sure Turner wants to prove himself for sure and he is the one who accepted this fight for sure Bobby Green can be dominant in this fight in my opinion,
OK, I just checked the odds for Turner Vs Green and Green is a big underdog for some reason, with x2.88 (on Unibet) payout rate. What am I missing here? I'd expect bookies to be favouring Green.
Is it just age and reach advantage? Other than that, Turner is stepping in on a VERY short notice, he lost his 2 latest fights, while Green won his last two in a compelling fashion.
For sure this is bookies underestimating the older dude, as Jalin Turner is just 28 and Bobby Green is now at his 37 of age, but let's just say on paper Bobby Green is so much more amazing than Turner but for some reason, there are people that will go and see the age gap of the two fighters, for sure this is what I think and the known reason why the odds was in favor with Jalin Turner,
