Ricky Turcios vs. Aiemann Zahabi Breakdown
Ricky Turcios (12-2)
The final competitor to make the walk to the octagon during tonight's prelims will be Texas' own, Ricky Turcios, who'll be looking for back-to-back wins to start his UFC career. Turcios is a former bantamweight champion on the independent scene before signing with the MMA leader, last summer.
Turcios may look to keep this one standing as he holds a massive 7.0 to 2.82 significant strikes landed per minute advantage over his Canadian counterpart.
Aiemann Zahabi (8-2)
Standing across from Turcios will be Canada's own Aiemann Zahabi. The bantamweight contender comes into tonight's showdown after his highlight knockout of Drako Rodriguez over 18 months, which halted back-to-back losses that stymied his sky-high potential when he made his promotional debut back in 2017.
If Zahabi is to put a winning streak together following tonight's contest, he may be keen to utilize a mixed bag approach as Turcios holds nearly every statistical advantage over him on paper.
