Jalin Turner replaces Dan Hooker, meets Bobby Green at UFC on ESPN 52

Jalin Turner has agreed to make the save for the UFC on ESPN 52 co-main event next month, as he will replace the injured Dan Hooker against Bobby Green.

After Hooker (23-12 MMA, 13-8 UFC) re-injured his arm in preparation for the Dec. 2 bout at Moody Center in Austin, Texas, the promotion needed a replacement to face Green (31-14-1 MMA, 12-9-1 UFC).

Turner (13-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) stepped up for the assignment, and will clash with Green in a three-round lightweight contest.

UFC CEO Dana White announced the switch Thursday on his Instagram account.
