LAS VEGAS – Wellington Turman sure faced adversity to get his latest win in the octagon.
The light heavyweight picked up an armbar finish over Cirkunov (15-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) in their co-main event clash at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 202. It was a slick finish that put the Brazilian on a two-fight winning streak. But, the victory came with a price.
“It wasn’t easy, but it was great,” Turman told MMA Junkie at the UFC Fight Night 202 post-fight press conference. “As the famous saying goes, ‘Life’s not about how hard of a hit, but about how many you can get hit and still keep moving forward.’ I live by that.”
