Jalin Turner’s Biography

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQyKcagR8g/?img_index=1

Jalin Turner was born in San Bernardino, California, on May 18, 1995, and he is currently 30 years old. Alongside his older sister Kisha, Jalin grew up under the care of his mom, and he once hinted that his father was not there for them all the time.

Moreover, he often appreciates the care and sacrifices of his mother towards his upbringing, education, and career. He has also shared special moments with her on his Instagram.

Meanwhile, Jalin began to keep tarantulas as pets to overcome arachnophobia, which he had from childhood. In an interview with ESPN in 2019, he said that he collected as many as 200 spiders at a point in his life.

He Started Participating in Sports in High School

Jalin attended Summit High School, where he was introduced to different kinds of sports, including football, basketball, and track and field. However, despite his liking for sports, he encountered multiple injuries, and this became a major setback for him. 

Along the way, he also developed a special liking for wrestling in his sophomore year. He was drafted to compete in his school’s pre-season but was unable to because he broke his finger.

This greatly frustrated him, but he was not willing to give up. He decided to start watching MMA bouts on television, and they inspired him to practice the sport even more. Also, when he turned 17, a friend convinced him to get serious about training. But there was a problem. Turner couldn’t afford the gym fees. Also, he could not afford the combat training equipment. As a result, he resorted to shadowboxing at home. He also used the couch in their home as a punching bag. This helped him develop his timing and precision.

He Went Pro in 2016 but His Opportunity in the UFC Didn’t come Easily

After devoting so much time to training at home, Jalin was able to join Team Adrenaline, which is one of Melbourne’s leading acrobatic gymnastics clubs. His time at the club greatly honed his skills, leading to his professional debut.

Turner made his UFC debut in 2016 after compiling an amateur record of 5-2. He primarily fought in his home state of California. However, things were a bit rough for him in the beginning, given that he had to do several jobs while training.

Jalin also said that he previously worked the graveyard shift at Nordstrom. His shift would start at 11 p.m. and end at 7 a.m. Afterward, he will drive from his Southern California home in San Bernardino to train with Michael Bisping in Costa Mesa before completing the 120-mile daily roundtrip by driving back to San Bernardino to train at Adrenaline MMA, which happens to be his home gym.

The American mixed martial artist is known to be the father of 2: Jeziah, who celebrates his birthday every December 20, and Jaiyana, who was born on June 4, 2019.

However, he has remained tight-lipped on details about his relationship, marriage, or love life. Regardless,  Richathletes.com discovered that Jalin was in a serious relationship with a lady whose name is yet to be revealed. She also appears to be the mother of his kids, and Jalin’s mother used to refer to this lady as her future daughter inlaw. But this is as far back as 2017, and it is not exactly clear if Jalin eventually got married to the mother of his kids or if they went their separate ways.

Although Jalin obviously prefers to keep details about his romantic life in the shadows, he has left the identity of his kids open and has often displayed his love and affection for them through his social media pages. In one of his posts on Instagram, Jalin promised to be the best father to his kids, even though he did not have that from his father.

Jalin Turner Has an Approximate Net Worth of $2 Million

Also known as ‘The Tarantula’, Jalin has made a decent sum from his fighting career and endorsement deals. According to sources, his total earnings are estimated at about $2 million.

The American mixed martial artist earned $50,000 for his fight against Uros Medic at UFC 266. Also, he is known to have earned about $75,000 when he fought Jamie Mullarkey at UFC 272.

For his fight with Brad Riddell at UFC 276, which he won via submission, he earned a whopping $135,000. This included the Performance of the Night bonus. Still, Jalin earned $66,000 in a losing effort against Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 285. In his fight with Dan Hooker at UFC 290, reports have it that he earned around $80,000, even though he lost 20 percent of the fight purse due to missing weight.

As earlier stated, aside from the UFC, Turner also made money from several partnerships. He has an endorsement deal with Compexo that also adds to his fortune. Also, Monster Energy sponsors him, as observed through his promotion of their products on his verified Instagram handle. The 30-year-old also promotes products from Cookie Co., RVCA Sports brand, and lots of others.
