In the UFC, Turner averages 5.82 significant strikes landed and 4.61 absorbed per minute. He also has a stingy 75% takedown defense with a 1.3 submission average per 15 minutes.

Jalin Turner vs. Bobby Green Betting Preview

In order to make the proper Turner vs. Green prediction, we need to discuss the betting odds and the styles of both fighters. Turner is coming into this weekend as the -194 betting favorite and Green is the +169 underdog. The odds favor the fight ending inside the distance at -150.

If we talk about the styles, it seems like Green is going to have a very tough time finding his way to a victory here against someone with such a massive physical advantage.

Turner is a long athlete with a lot of speed and is continuously getting better in all aspects of MMA. He has the tools to be great, he just hasn’t figured out how to win a fight by putting 15 minutes together and winning rounds when he can’t find a finish.

Green is a crafty veteran with slick boxing skills, trash-talking, and underrated grappling skills that can lead to a quick submission at any moment in the octagon. He is in a position where winning this weekend would make his next UFC fight a massive one with maybe even title implications around it at this point of his career.

Jalin Turner vs. Bobby GreenBetting Prediction

If you plan on making UFC predictions tonight, this is the place to learn. The key to making bets on the UFC is to understand that the sport of MMA is unpredictable and half of these fights should be 50/50 odds.

With that being said, the Turner vs. Green prediction is that Jalin Turner gets his hand raised on Saturday night. It’s tough to bet against Green right now, but Turner is going to go out there and be free and aggressive–which is a nightmare for anybody in the world right now.
