After submitting Jalin Turner at UFC 313, Ignacio Bahamondes expressed a desire for Turner not to retire. Turner, who has had a challenging streak, revealed in an emotional interview that he has been contemplating retirement for nearly a year. The loss to Bahamondes, which marked his fourth in five fights, was a significant factor in his decision. Bahamondes subsequently offered his support, inviting Turner to train with him in Chicago and emphasizing that Turner still has much to contribute to the sport.
You either gotta be all in or not. And being in there wasn't fully all in as I thought I would be... I've been thinking about this for the last 11 months if I'm gonna keep fighting or not.
I told him, 'Don't do that. Come on, if you need help, if you need something, I'm here.' If you want to come to Chicago and train, just to love it again - I told him he could stay at my house, no problem.
