UFC Fight Night matches Brazilian welterweight Wellington Turman (18-8-0) against South Korea's Seokhyeon Ko (13-3-0) on the main card, with a scheduled start of 16:00 UTC on 7 November 2026.
Wellington Turman: a Brazilian grappling base
Turman is a Brazilian fighter based in Curitiba who spent much of his UFC tenure at middleweight before moving to welterweight. Public listings put his professional record at 18 wins and 8 losses.
His game is built on clinch pressure, takedowns and mat work: he looks for top control and submissions, and on the feet he prefers to crowd opponents rather than trade at range.
Seokhyeon Ko: the Korean contender's route
Ko represents South Korea; public reports suggest he arrives with a 13-3 record after coming up through Asian regional competition. He is generally described as the more mobile of the two, working at range in stand-up exchanges.
For Ko, this is a test against an opponent whose main threat is wrestling and ground control rather than a striking duel.
What the matchup tests
Turman needs to close distance, pin Ko against the fence and drag the fight to the mat. Ko benefits from keeping space, using jabs and low kicks while avoiding the clinch.
Over three rounds the question is whose approach holds up: whether Ko can defend takedowns throughout, and whether Turman can close the gap before fatigue sets in.
