Picked against, with the analyst stating he doesn't see a real path to victory for this fighter.
Decent striking with decent power, coming forward. Pretty good grappler with a good cage push that sets up takedowns against the fence, plus a good submission arsenal.

grapplingvery good
The pick leans toward Turman as a live underdog rather than a confident call, framed as only a small-stakes lean.
Turman brings a genuinely dangerous jiu-jitsu game, capable of catching fight-ending submissions in a hurry, plus solid clinch and cage-control skills that give him a second way to win positional exchanges. He stays live with submissions even from his back, which isn't something every ground fighter can claim. His standup is the clear weak point — passable for UFC level but not something he wants to lean on — so his path runs through getting the fight to the mat or into the clinch, where his craft can offset his opponent's strength advantage over time.
