UFC debut on tap
Aslan agreed to fight Anton Turkalj in a light heavyweight bout at UFC Atlantic City on March 30, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Aslan earned a contract through Dana White Contender Series in August with a knockout of Paulo Renato Jr., and his first fight for the promotion is now penciled in. Turkalj also came up through the Contender Series in 2022, but he's gone 0-3 in his first three bouts.

Big swings result in UFC contract
Aslan defeated Paulo Renato Jr. via KO/TKO (punches) at 2:21 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of five fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Perhaps we had been spoiled by fights that took place at lower weight classes, but neither competitor looked particularly sharp in this one, swinging wildly until one of them (Aslan) happened to connect. That's not to say that the 27-year-old has no future in the organization, but considering his last victory before this was against an opponent who holds a record of 5-11-0, it may be wise to temper our expectations somewhat. Aslan is powerful and athletic, but he will need more than that to stand out in the light heavyweight division.
