Wellington Turman

Wellington Turman, a 27-year-old Brazilian middleweight with an 18-8 record, competes from an orthodox stance and has struggled to find consistency at the UFC level, posting a 3-5 record across his last eight fights. The Prodigy operates as a volume striker with modest output, landing 3.23 strikes per minute at 51% accuracy while absorbing 4.17 per minute and defending only 45% of incoming strikes—a significant defensive liability.

Turman averages 1.55 takedowns per 15 minutes at just 20% accuracy and defends takedowns at 42%, suggesting limited grappling proficiency, though his 0.8 submission average per 15 minutes indicates occasional submission threat. Recent results tell a mixed story: he earned a submission victory over Misha Cirkunov in February 2022, but has since fallen to Andre Petroski and Randy Brown via unanimous decision and suffered a devastating first-round knockout loss to Bruno Silva in June 2021, most recently dropping a submission loss to Jared Gooden in December 2023.

With a cardio score of 43.9 and limited knockout power (2.0 KO score), Turman lacks the finishing ability or defensive prowess needed to climb the middleweight ranks effectively. His path forward requires marked improvements in striking defense and takedown accuracy to remain competitive at the UFC level.
