Welterweights Seok Hyeon Ko and Wellington Turman meet on the main card of UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas. Turman has not fought since December 2023, while Ko lost a close decision in July. See what the numbers say in our Seok Hyeon Ko vs Wellington Turman match prediction.
The Korean Tyson earned his UFC contract on Dana White's Contender Series and won his first two UFC fights by unanimous decision. Four straight fights have now gone to the scorecards, the latest a 29-28 loss to Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani in Oklahoma City in July. Seok Hyeon has no UFC finishes yet.
The Prodigy turned pro as a teenager and owns eight submission wins, but his UFC record sits at 3-6. Wellington Turman has lost three straight, with the latest a second-round choke against Jared Gooden in December 2023. In truth, four surgeries kept the Brazilian out for nearly three years, and a planned July return was cancelled.
Advantage-wise, Turman is two inches taller at 6ft 0in, and his submission pedigree makes him a threat on the mat. But Ko counters with a judo black belt, a sambo world title and a record of never being submitted as a pro. Both men arrive with plenty to prove, but The Korean Tyson is our winner.

Our Seok Hyeon Ko vs Wellington Turman Prediction
We are backing The Korean Tyson to grind out a decision. Ko has gone to the scorecards in four straight fights and has never been submitted, which takes away the main weapon of The Prodigy.
At the other end, Turman returns after nearly three years away, having lost his last three, with a 3-6 UFC record. Ko is a heavy favorite for good reason, though a stoppage cannot be ruled out. Hence, our Seok Hyeon Ko vs Wellington Turman prediction is that Seok Hyeon Ko wins by Decision or Technical Decision.
