Early Life and Career
Turner was born and raised in San Bernardino, California, and went to Summit High School where he couldn't participate in most sports due to frequent injuries. He found his talent in wrestling but couldn't compete due to a broken finger. Turner became interested in MMA after watching bouts on TV and started practicing the sport by running, shadowboxing, and using his family couch as a punching bag. He joined Team Adrenaline to kickstart his MMA career. Despite being arachnophobic, Turner collected tarantulas as pets to overcome his fear and had 200 of them by the time he made his UFC debut, earning him the nickname "The Tarantula." He had an amateur record of 5-2 and started his professional career in 2016, fighting primarily in California and amassing a record of 7-3 with a two-fight winning streak, including a technical knockout win against Noah Tillis at Bellator 192, before being signed by UFC.
