Stalwart lightweight contender, Jalin Turner has confirmed his shocking retirement from mixed martial arts overnight following a second consecutive loss in his first round submission defeat to Chilean contender, Ignacio Bahamondes at UFC 313.
Turner, who entered last night’s pairing with the surging Bahamondes as the number thirteen ranked contender, had been sidelined since he featured on the preliminary card of UFC 300 back in April of last year.
And on that occasion, attempting to secure a first round walkoff knockout win over fan-favorite, Renato Moicano, Turner would eventually be stopped himself with a second round finish.
