Bahamondes up next
Turner is scheduled to compete against fellow lightweight Ignacio Bahamondes at UFC 313 in Las Vegas on March 8, per Matthew Wells of MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
It will be under a year between Turner's previous and upcoming fights. The former saw him compete in the UFC's biggest pay-per-view that year and suffered a second-round TKO to Renato Moicano, who used said victory to get himself an eventual title shot against champion Islam Makhachev.

Crushing UFC 300 defeat
Turner lost to Renato Moicano via TKO (punches) at 4:11 of Round 2 at UFC 300 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Entering as a -250 favorite, Turner, who spent a good chunk of Round 1 on his back, appeared to have this fight won after dropping Moicano in the closing seconds of the frame. Yet, he didn't follow up on his opportunity, perhaps thinking the fight should have been stopped, and it ended up costing him in a major way. Turner did some more good work early in the fight in Round 2 before once again being taken down. This time, he wasn't lucky enough to survive the round. Turner has now lost three of his past four fights, although two have come via split decision. He'll find himself in a must-win situation his next time out.

Set to face Renato Moicano
Turner is set to face Renato Moicano in a three-round lightweight bout at UFC 300 on April 13.
ANALYSIS
Turner will look to start a winning streak, as he defeated Bobby Green in his last event, but he was coming off back-to-back losses to Dan Hooker and Mateusz Gamrot before that. Turner has struggled to make weight in his previous two fights, and he hopes that won't be an issue ahead of meeting Moicano in this huge event.

Statement win over Bobby Green
Turner defeated Bobby Green via KO (punches) at 2:49 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
ANALYSIS
This is a notable win for Turner on multiple fronts. He accepted this fight on short notice and was openly worried about making weight. It took two tries Friday morning, but he got there. Jalin had a massive size and power edge over Green and was eventually able to connect with a shot to the side of his opponent's head which stumbled him. Bobby eventually was flattened out on the mat with Turner firing off countless, unanswered shots. The former was clearly finished, but referee Kerry Hatley refused to stop the fight, so Jalin kept wailing away until Hatley changed his tune. Hopefully the dangerous and woeful actions of the ref do not take away from a terrific performance from Turner -- one that would go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Jalin snaps a two-fight losing streak (split decisions to Dan Hooker and Mateusz Gamrot) with the victory.

Makes weight on second attempt
Turner needed two attempts to make the lightweight limit of 156 pounds in advance of Saturday's UFC Austin matchup against Bobby Green.
ANALYSIS
Turner didn't look the greatest on the scales, which can be expected when you take a lightweight fight on just a few weeks' notice. He weighed in at 157 pounds on his first attempt, but returned five minutes later and hit his mark, which, per Nolan King of USA Today, often implies a calibration issue or human error was in play. Turner is currently roughly a (-200) betting favorite in advance of Saturday's co-main event.
