Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Seeing names like Anderson Silva and Jon Jones at UFC that Wellington found, he needed to migrate to MMA. The premiere in the amateur category took place at 17 years of age. With five wins in five fights in the amateur cartel, Turman turned 18 and decided to start his professional career.[1]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Turman made his UFC debut as a late replacement for John Phillips against Karl Roberson on July 13, 2019, at UFC on ESPN+ 13.[2] Turman lost the fight via a controversial split decision.[3]

Turman faced Markus Perez on November 16, 2019, at UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Jacaré.[4] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[5]

Turman faced Andrew Sanchez on August 8, 2020, at UFC Fight Night 174.[6] He lost the fight via knockout in round one.[7]

Turman was scheduled to face Sean Strickland on October 31, 2020, at UFC Fight Night 181.[8] However on September 29, Turman pulled out due to COVID-19 sequelae that rendered him unable to train after his two-week quarantine ended on September 24, 2020.[9]

Turman was scheduled to face Aliaskhab Khizriev on February 6, 2021 at UFC Fight Night 184.[10] However, Turman was forced to withdraw from the bout, diagnosing with pneumonia.[11]
