Dana White’s Contender Series 12 took place Tuesday, and we’re grading the winners from the five-fight card, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass from The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas. With a refreshing but digestible format that has fans of the sport responding, this series has shown to have legs beyond its summer seasons while serving as a crockpot for contenders whom the UFC matchmakers can use for future events. With that trend in mind, I’ve decided to take a look at the winning fighters regardless of whether or not they won a UFC contract while grading their performances in regards to their probability of returning to a UFC stage. * * * * Jalin Turner Weight class : Lightweight Result : Jalin Turner def. Max Mustaki by first-round TKO (doctors stoppage) Grade : A Summary : It’s hard to downgrade a fighter for things outside of his control, which is why I’m giving Jalin Turner an A. A Michael Bisping sparring partner who shows more than just athletic potential, Turner opened as the clear favorite over Max Mustaki.
