Prediction, pick for Seokhyeon Ko vs. Wellington Turman at UFC Vegas 124
Welterweights collide on Saturday night, as Seokhyeon Ko faces Wellington Turman at UFC Fight Night: Cortes Acosta vs. Walker inside the Meta APEX.
Ko (13–3 MMA, 2–1 UFC) is coming off his first Octagon loss, dropping a unanimous decision to Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani in July. Turman (18–8 MMA, 3–6 UFC) returns to the cage for the first time since getting submitted by Jared Gooden in December 2023.
Ko enters as an overwhelming -700 moneyline favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook. Turman is a +500 underdog, with the fight total set at O/U 1.5 rounds.
Seokhyeon Ko is looking to rebound from his first Octagon loss — and first pro defeat since December 2021. Granted, there are far worse people to lose to than Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani, an impressive prospect (12–2 MMA, 3–0 UFC) who pushed his winning streak to seven last weekend with a TKO victory. The 33-year-old South Korean has otherwise dominated his UFC competition with solid boxing and strong offensive grappling. While he’s yet to record a finish inside the Octagon, “Technical” has swept the judges’ scorecards in each of his last two wins — even earning a 30–26 from one judge in his most recent triumph over Phil Rowe.

His opponent, 'Prodigy' Wellington Turman (30, Brazil), also recorded 77.6 kg, and both fighters completed the weigh-in easily.
The two fighters, standing face to face on the weigh-in stage, first exchanged a light handshake.

After completing the face-off, they shook hands once more, vowing to give their best performance.
