Lightweight fighter Jalin Turner is preparing for UFC 313 after nearly a year away from competition. Although he expresses discomfort with the ups and downs of life—comparing it to a roller coaster—he acknowledges overcoming challenges and riding a positive wave currently. Set to fight Ignacio Bahamondes, who brings significant momentum, Turner emphasizes his improved grappling skills gained during his layoff. Despite familiar routines in Las Vegas, he notes that this fight week has felt different, allowing him more time to enjoy activities like hiking due to favorable weight management.
Life has been a roller coaster, definitely a roller coaster. I don't like roller coasters, but it's been one. I'm riding a good wave right now.
I feel like that was exactly what was in the mind's of the matchmakers when this fight got put together. I'm coming off of a layoff, he has all this hype, and I'm right here.
This fight week has been different. My routine has been completely different, because my weight was really good. I got to enjoy more things, I was out hiking in nature a little bit more.
Vegas is dang near my second home. I'm going to have to move out here soon.
