Ignacio Bahamondes has seen first hand what his team can produce with hard work and talent, and that is a UFC championship title.
Training alongside newly crowned UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad, Bahamondes (16-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) has picked up plenty of inspiration to make his dream come to a reality. “La Jaula,” a 27-year-old title hopeful in the UFC’s lightweight division, gets his first big step towards the belt, as he takes on his first ever ranked opponent – Jalin Turner. The two battle it out on the main card of this Saturday’s UFC 313 (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Bahamondes is eager for the opportunity and is entering a fight more motivated than ever.
