JALIN TURNER VS JAMIE MULLARKEY LOWDOWN
Jalin Turner (11-5) had a shaky UFC start. He moved up to welterweight for his debut which unfortunately for him was against Vicente Luque (2018) who starched him in the first round. He moved back down to lightweight and TKO’d Callan Potter (2019) but then lost a unanimous decision to Matt Frevola (2019). However, he is back on the march after TKOing Josh Culibao (2020) and submitted Brok Weaver (2020) and Uros Medic (2021) handing him his first ever loss.
Jamie Mullarkey (14-4) also had a rough start losing his first two UFC fights. He lost unanimous decisions to Brad Riddell (2019) and Fares Ziam (2020) but has responded perfectly with two knockouts. He gave Khama Worthy (2021) a taste of his own medicine in the first round and then pulled off a ‘performance of the night’ against Devonte Smith (2021) finishing him in the second round.
JALIN TURNER VS JAMIE MULLARKEY PREDICTION
Turner is the rangiest lightweight on the roster and will have three inches in height and reach over Mullarkey although he will only be able to make that count if he can maintain the distance.
We have seen the improvements in Mullarkey’s striking, but if he decides to stand and trade with Turner, he will get picked apart from range. We expect him to make this fight ugly and close the distance by tying Turner up in his clinch and trying take him down.
He is incredibly durable but, Turner only needs to tag him a few times to change the course of the fight. We are backing Mullarkey to be able to close the distance for the majority of the bout, hurt him with body shots and tie him up for long enough to convince the judges, but a Turner finish is also likely.
