Turner’s management, Iridium Sports Agency, announced the pairing
on social media. UFC 276 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las
Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight championship clash between
Israel
Adesanya and Jared
Cannonier.
Riddell had a seven-bout winning streak snapped in his most recent
Octagon appearance, when he suffered a knockout loss to Rafael
Fiziev at UFC on ESPN 31 this past December. The City
Kickboxing export kicked off his promotional tenure with successive
triumphs against Jamie
Mullarkey, Magomed
Mustafaev, Alex
da Silva Coelho and Drew
Dober.
Turner, meanwhile, is in the middle of a four-bout Octagon run in
which he has finished all of his opponents inside of two rounds. In
his last outing, “The Tarantula” stopped Mullarkey via TKO 46
seconds into Round 2 at UFC 272. The Dana White’s Contender Series
alum is 12-5 as a professional, with all his wins coming inside the
distance.
