Bahamondes is the small favorite in this matchup but still looks to be a solid option to win. He has the clear edge in striking volume and has a strong enough takedown defense to nullify the grappling advantage that Turner has. Further, he is 3-1 in his last 4 UFC fights, while Turner is 1-3. For that reason, backing Bahamondes to win will be our best bet.
