Jalin Turner Just Cost Himself A Win At UFC 300 Attempting A Walk Off KO

Ohhhh nooooo Jalin! He had the fight won! It was in the bag! 

Once that left hand of Turner landed, Moicano was rocked bad, and perfectly primed for a finish - but I think Jalin had his sights set more on the special $300k bonus tonight than the TKO. He wanted the flashy, highlight reel walk-off KO, and it cost him the fight. Renato Moicano proceeded to survive the round and finish him minutes later after taking him down and laying the ground-and-pound on him until Herb Dean stepped in....

I can't even imagine how much regret Turner must feel sitting in the locker room right now.

Moicano followed up the win with another all time (an incredibly all over the place) post-fight speech where he talked about how much he loves America and the constitution and the First Amendment, and then announced that he started a podcast and told Joe Rogan he has to come on as a guest and said he can't refuse, and then he just kept saying he can't afford to lose….

It was awesome. Oh, and speaking of awesome - Diego Lopes just finished Sodiq Yusuff before I could even publish this blog! 

He's an absolute star at this point and the crowd LOVES him. I think he definitely earned one of those $300k bonuses tonight.
