Brown vs Turman Prediction
Randy Brown enters Saturday looking to get back on track following a submission loss to Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 284 in February. He had won four straight bouts prior to that showing and checks in with a 6-inch reach advantage in this fight. Look for Brown to lean on that when in an upright battle.
Wellington Turman also finds himself in need of a victory as he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Andre Petroski his last time out in November. The 26-year-old owns a 3-4 record at the UFC level and has yet to earn a KO/TKO victory. That could be concerning against a relentless puncher like Brown.
Brown lands 4.39 significant strikes per minute and only absorbs 3.30 significant strikes per minute. Both of those marks best Turman as he only lands 2.92 significant strikes per minute and absorbs 3.79. Brown has the inside track to coming out on top as long as he avoids going to the ground often.
Brown vs Turman Best Bet
For as much as Brown is capable of knocking out his opponent, he hasn't earned a KO/TKO victory since 2019. That makes backing him to win via points the way to go in this welterweight clash. After all, each of Brown's last three wins have come via decision and four of Turman's seven UFC fights have been decided by the judges. Expect a back-and-forth showdown in which Brown finds an edge.
