Coming off a devastating knockout of Bobby Green back in December, Turner is looking to get some momentum going and showcase his full potential. He is a nasty striker from distance who can produce big power while sniping his opponents. Grappling would be his weak spot, but he is slowly improving that aspect of his game on a fight-by-fight basis.
This big one is finally here. Two legitimate title fights and another novelty belt on the line to determine who the next BMF is, the UFC has done their best to bedazzle UFC 300 and I think they did the best they could.

Officially riding a three-fight winning streak since winning The Ultimate Fighter season 30, Usman is looking to take his talents into the heavyweight rankings with a win this weekend. He normally showcases a low-paced striking approach with not a lot of power. Wrestling is something he can threaten with, but he is not as dominant as his welterweight brother is in that realm.
Will the BJJ black belt of Ribas come into play this weekend and help her pull off the upset? Or will the veteran, high level experience of Namajunas gets her hand raised? Read on to see how these two matchup.
Now 3-0 with the promotion, Nunes continues to wow people with her lack of size for these bigger weight classes but still coming out on top.
