[Jalin Turner](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/3582/jalin-turner), the main card lightweight fight on Saturday in Las Vegas. Unlike Gamrot, Turner entered the UFC to little fanfare. One of the most heralded lightweights to enter the octagon in years, Gamrot was the KSW lightweight and featherweight champion before signing with the UFC in 2020.

UFC 285 Odds: Mateusz Gamrot vs. Jalin Turner prediction, pick ... (ClutchPoints)

Ranked Lightweights square off on the UFC 285 Main Card! Check out our UFC odds series for our Gamrot-Turner prediction and pick.

Gamrot would be the play if he had a full camp, but I’m just not confident in the lack of preparation against a unique opponent like Turner. Gamrot is tough beyond is own good and would take a fight on a day’s notice, so he feels confident in this matchup and should lean on his chain wrestling as the clear path to victory. Turner will have to use his leverage as he’ll most likely be pressed against the cage on numerous occasions. With a full camp, Gamrot would be a much bigger favorite in this fight due to the vast difference in wrestling skills between him and Turner. Turner will have to defend the takedowns of Gamrot to have a chance in this once. If Gamrot begins to crowd him, he should look to clinch and land knees up the middle. He uses a number of high kicks to the head and will threaten with spinning attacks to the body. Mateusz Gamrot is 21-2 in his MMA career and has gone 4-2 in his UFC fights. He’s gotten dropped multiple times in the past, but almost always gets up immediately after and crowds his opponent. Both of these men are forces in the division and will look to make their mark on this PPV card. During that streak, he finished two of those fights with punches and the other three by way of submission, particularly his patented guillotine choke. After suffering a bad loss to Matt Frevola in 2019, Turner bounced back in a major way by winning his following five fights consecutively.

Gamrot looks to bounce back after a unanimous-decision loss to Beneil Dariush last time out at UFC 280 in October.
