Jalin Turner: BMF title fight 'very enticing' after UFC 330 KO win

Jalin Turner wouldn't mind throwing down for the BMF title.

Philadelphia – Jalin Turner, known as the "Tarantula," is excited about the prospect of defending the Baddest Motherf*cker (BMF) title. Turner, a dangerous striker at 155 pounds, defeated Kaue Fernandes in a wild 39-second knockout victory on the main card of UFC 330. This win has put him on a two-fight winning streak and maintained his perfect finishing record, suggesting to some that he is eligible for a BMF title bout.

Turner expressed his enthusiasm at the post-fight press conference, saying, "That's very enticing... Charles Oliveira has it right now... If Max Holloway had it, it would be more fun. I'm just keeping it honest." He believes a striking battle between Turner and Charles Oliveira would be exciting for fans. Turner, however, was surprised by how quickly the fight unfolded.

He admitted he had not anticipated such a short duration, commenting, "I was trying to get a read on what was going to happen, kind of visualize what was going to happen, and 39 seconds was not in any of my predictions, manifestations, prayers, nothing."
