Ibo Aslan had to overcome some adversity in his octagon debut at UFC on ESPN 54 , but he ultimately found a way to win against Anton Turkalj . After earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, Aslan (13-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) got the unique opportunity to debut against the man who handed him his only career loss in Turkalj (8-4 MMA, 0-4 UFC) in a light heavyweight matchup at Boardwalk Hall. For more than two rounds it looked like history might repeat itself, with Turkalj landing some heavy shots and swelling Aslan’s eye to a close. But then Aslan landed a huge punch in the third round that knocked Turkalj down, and the referee jumped in for the TKO at the 1:32 mark of Round 3. Check out the replay of the final sequence below (via X ): ONE HITTER QUITTER #UFCAtlanticCity pic.twitter.com/7chS6twzPk — ESPN MMA (@espnmma) March 31, 2024 After the win, Aslan proudly stated he’s ready to make waves as the only active UFC fighter from Turkey.
