Renato 'Moicano' Plans on Submitting Jalin Turner at UFC 300

“Moicano” will face Jalin Turner at UFC 300 on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Carneiro vs. Turner was the last fight added to the promotion’s landmark event.

"I thought [my opponent] would be the [No. 9 in UFC rankings] Dan Hooker in Brazil, but I couldn't deny the invitation to be on a historic card like this one at UFC 300 fighting Turner, [who is above me in the rankings],“ Carneiro told Sherdog.com.

"Of course five weeks is not ideal, but that's not a problem to someone who already accepted a fight on three days’ notice against a former champion, like [Rafael dos Anjos].”

Carneiro won’t change much in regards to his preparation for Turner, who has finished all 14 of his victories inside the distance and is coming off a first-round knockout of Bobby Green at UFC on ESPN 52.

"Tough opponent, very experienced and tall, but I’ve been training for a striker [Drew Dober] in my last fight, so I’ll just keep the same routine for the next five weeks [and] find taller sparring partners since this guy is 6-foot-3. I’m totally aware that I have advantages over him, and I hope to get him in a rear-naked choke and climb up another step towards the top of lightweight rankings.”
