Welcome to the live blog coverage of the highly anticipated lightweight main card fight between Jalin Turner and Dan Hooker at UFC 290, taking place this Saturday in Las Vegas.
Jalin Turner, currently ranked No. 11 in the lightweight division, is determined to bounce back after a tough and closely contested loss to Mateusz Gamrot in March. A victory in this bout would place Turner right back in the mix at 155 pounds, assuming that he plans to continue competing in this weight class. However, it is worth noting that Turner failed to make weight for this fight, raising concerns about his future in the lightweight division.
On the other hand, Dan Hooker, who has previously competed in the featherweight division, made a return to lightweight in 2022 after a devastating loss to Arnold Allen. In his comeback at lightweight in November, Hooker secured an impressive victory by stopping Claudio Puelles with a well-executed body kick. Now, he aims to achieve consecutive wins for the first time since 2020.
