Jalin Turner- Luke Rockhold
Luke Rockhold has turned his heat up not for the shows but also for the backstage work as well and his teammate Jalin Turner knows about it. Turner is a UFC lightweight and one of the most exciting prospects in the current UFC roster right now. Turner is on a five-fight winning streak and is coming of the biggest win of his career so far by defeating City Kickboxing’s Brad Riddell via a quick first round submission. Turner has been one of those fighters who have a greater reach advantage for their division and hence, the potential is just so high.
Rockhold, the former Strikeforce and the former UFC middleweight champion, is returning to the Octagon after 3 long years when he will face former UFC title challenger Paulo Costa at UFC 277. Rockhold last fought at UFC 239 losing via knockout to former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz. Regardless, Rockhold is known for his wins over the likes of Chris Weidman, Michael Bisping, Lyoto Machida, Ronaldo Souza, Tim Kennedy, Tim Boetsch, David Branch and many more.
Jalin Turner says Luke Rockhold is “gonna do some things” at UFC 278
Although Jalin Turner primarily trains at Adrenaline Combat Sports, he also trains at RVCA gym under RVCA’s head coach Jason Parillo. In an interview with The Schmo, Turner talks about his next possible fight either against Paddy Pimblett or Drew Dober, the most flattering thing a fan has ever said and much more. In the midst of it, Turner talks about his teammate Rockhold’s return to the Octagon this weekend.
“He has his fire back,” says Turner “I’m excited to see him back in there, I’m excited to see him you know, he’s been having that young fire that he’s been missing, so we will see man, I think he’s gonna do some good things Saturday night,” he concludes.
