Pedro is looking to make a splash in his home country this weekend. Fighting in front of a crowd that will be cheering for him will be a big plus for Pedro, who lost his most recent fight at the hands of Modestas Bukauskas via unanimous decision back in February’s UFC 284: Makhachev vs. Volkanovski.
Prior to that, Pedro had a two-fight win, scoring back-to-back knockouts over Ike Villanueva and Harry Hunsucker. Porter is a dangerous striker standing up and in the clinch. He has a 4-1 T/KO record to go with a 5-1 submission slate. For what it’s worth, Pedro has been training with Israel Adesanya for this upcoming fight against Turkalj.

They call Turkalj “The Pleasure Man,” which might sound weird, but that’s only because he loves to entertain fans who come to see him fight. That being said, he’s not having any pleasure looking at the results of his last two fights. After getting submitted by Jailton Almeida in last September’s UFC 279: Diaz vs. Ferguson, Turkalj suffered a unanimous decision victory at the hands of Vitor Petrino in last March’s UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Dvalishvili.
Still looking for his first win in the UFC, Turkalj must be feeling immense pressure to deliver a victory. Before losing to Almeida, the Swedish MMA fighter won all of his first eight professional fights. although he’s won five fights via knockouts, Turkalj can surprise with his grappling. Through two fights in the UFC, he’s already made five successful takedown attempts.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Tyson Pedro vs Anton Turkalj

Pedro wins via KO.
