UFC’s Wellington Turman vows to show he’s a real ‘Prodigy’

Brazilian middleweight prospect Wellington Turman celebrated his first UFC victory with a decision over Markus Perez in November, and promises a very different show when he faces Andrew Sanchez at Saturday’s UFC Vegas 6.

Turman feels he should be 2-0 inside the octagon after dropping a split decision to Karl Roberson in his first appearance under the bright lights of the UFC in July 2019, but only one judge agreed with him. More experienced and confident this time around, Turman expects to move up to another level in the sport with a win over a The Ultimate Fighter winner.
