Jalin Turner vs. Josh Culibao in the works for UFC on ESPN+ 26

Josh Culibao is Jalin Turner at UFC on ESPN+ 26.

A person with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the targeted booking on Wednesday. The person asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Turner (8-5 MMA, 1-2 UFC) originally was supposed to fight Jamie Mullarkey, who recently withdrew due to injury. Turner looks to get back in the win column after dropping a decision to Matt Frevola at UFC 236 in April.

Instead of Mullarkey, Turner will face off against Culibao (8-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Many believe Culibao to be the best 145 pounder on the Australia-New Zealand regional scene. The 25-year-old has five TKOs and three decisions in eight victories. He most recently competed in March.

UFC on ESPN+ 26 takes place Feb. 22 (Sunday, Feb. 23 locally) at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. The card streams on ESPN+.
