COSTA MESA, Calif. – According to Jalin Turner, Mateusz Gamrot is the only fighter he was offered as a replacement for UFC 285.
Turner’s (13-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC) original opponent for the March 4 pay-per-view card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas was Dan Hooker, who withdrew due to a broken hand.
Turner was eager to stay on the card, and got perhaps an even better replacement in higher-ranked lightweight Gamrot (21-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC), who Turner says is the only fighter that took the fight.
