At UFC 300, Jalin Turner was the heavy favorite to win against Renato Moicano. Despite having an early advantage and injuring his opponent, Turner made a critical mistake that changed the course of the fight.
In the first round, Turner landed a powerful left hook that seemed like it might have ended the fight. However, Moicano quickly got back up just as the round was coming to a close. Despite having only 18 seconds left to secure a victory, Turner failed to take advantage of the situation.
Moicano turned things around in the second round and secured a TKO win, marking his third consecutive victory. The Brazilian confidently declared that nobody can hurt him and extended an invitation to UFC commentator Joe Rogan to appear on his new podcast, “Show Me The Money.”
The outcome of the fight was a setback for Turner, who had been struggling with defeats against Mateusz Gamrot and Dan Hooker in previous bouts. These losses, coupled with missed weight at UFC 290, had hindered his progress up the lightweight ranks. The defeat at the hands of Moicano only added to Turner’s challenges in regaining his momentum in the division.
