The promotion announced the pairing during the UFC
299 broadcast on Saturday night. UFC 300 takes place on April
13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a light
heavyweight championship tilt pitting Alex
Pereira against Jamahal
Hill. Carneiro vs. Turner is slated for the preliminary portion
of the card.
“Moicano” has been victorious in four of his last five bouts in UFC
competition. Most recently, the Brazilian earned a unanimous
decision triumph over Drew Dober at
UFC Fight Night 235 on Feb. 3.
Turner last appeared at UFC on ESPN 52, where he snapped a
two-fight skid with a first-round knockout of Bobby Green
this past December. “The Tarantula” is 7-4 during his tenure with
the Las Vegas-based promotion, with all of his victories coming
inside the distance.
