For the most part, fighters attract to stand-up work. However, Brad is seriously inferior to his opponent in anthropometry, so it will be very difficult for him to compete against a taller opponent. He will have to constantly cut corners, make adjustments and look for suitable opportunities to shorten the distance.
It will be risky enough to rely on control. It’s worth remembering that Turner is not bad at BJJ and can easily catch a chokehold, for example, a guillotine.
Jalin Turner’s last four fights ended early.
Brad began his UFC journey with four straight wins. However, in his last fight, Brad was unable to defeat Rafael Fiziev. Riddell was defeated by a knockout in the third round.
Nevertheless, he is still ranked among the top 15 in the lightweight division. It’s worth noting that Brad himself has not won a single victory in the UFC early. He is not used to working at a high tempo.
He usually acts from defence, waiting for the moment to strike. That said, Brad has a good defensive record. Statistically, he allows no more than four accentuated shots per minute.
Almost 55% of all attacks from the opponent’s side are on the block. As for wrestling, Riddell in 5 fights only tried 9 times to move his opponent to parterre. For the most part, Brad prefers to fight in the stand-up position.
80% of Riddell’s fights in the UFC have reached the judges’ decision.
Turner approaches the fight with Riddell on a four-fight winning streak in a row. For Jalen, the fight against Brad is a chance to get into the top 15.
Jalin has won all his previous four fights early. Turner is a good fighter, both in the clinch and in the standup.
Statistically, he had a 75% success rate in TKOs while 61% in leg kicks blocked by the opponent. Clearly, Jalin may have more than one plan for this upcoming fight.
On the counter, however, Turner has an average performance. About half of his punches are getting to the target, but there are some problems in the block. Jalen misses at least nine accent strikes per minute.
