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.[2]

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.[3] Turman lost the fight via a controversial split decision.[4]

Turman was scheduled to face Sean Strickland on October 31, 2020, at UFC Fight Night 181.[10] 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.[11]
