Media How the hell does Jalin Turner make 155?

[Portland8242]

Essentially every tall, lanky fighter has had this exact thread made about them. Especially the tall, lanky fighters who have skinny legs.

I'm mystified that so many people are mystified by differing skeletal structure and muscle development.

In my friend group in college, I had one friend who was 6'4 and fat. Another friend was 5'9 at the most and built like a little tank. By looking at them, you would have thought the tall guy was 80 pounds heavier...except they both weighed in the 240-250 range.

Body types are a thing and somehow sherdog never catches on. Some dudes carry weight very different. My example is take a 260 pound Samoan and compare them with a 260 pound fat lazy american and they will look vastly different. Samoans are built so crazy that at 260 pounds they can still look like an average person.

Might be the biggest LW ever. Mt Rushmore how da fook does he make weight.

Insane

I knew a guy who was 6'0 and weighed about 130 pounds. It sounds crazy, but he was just a naturally lean guy who had a small bone structure. He was actually a fitness instructor in the military.

That's the one upside of possessing a below average penis, alas I wouldn't know it since I am a sherdogger (8in soft).

 

[SaigeVanZant]

I think he cuts height

when archeologists dig up our ruins and such 10,000 years from now, theyre going to unearth combat sportsand have no fuking idea what this stupid weight cut is about and simply call it an odd ritual symbolizimg a sacrifice/sufferring meant to appease the gods

Um, stick legs.
Also, couldn't even beat boring Gamrot who did beat extra boring Arman.

My hopes for Khamzat fighting at 170 diminished wildly with this picture.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Yeah he's a massive LW, but as Gamrot showed, size isn't everything - he's still not quite at the level to beat the elite guys.

 

[glenn777]

He's tall but has thin bone structure /thread

@Royce's Gi

Its the bone structure

 

[GolovKing]

I notice that black fighters often have the advantage when it comes to being big for the weight class. They just have the best physiques for fighting. Long strong limbs with less weight being concentrated in the torso where it is probably not as useful. Lean dense muscle mass which cuts water weight more easily compared to body types with more fat. A lot of them have skinny legs but their legs are still very long and have muscles on them so they aren't weak like you would think, and they have strong glutes usually too

He beat gamrot and even if you believe gamrot won it's not like he didn't show he didn't belong in there with him

Jon Jones school of fitting into a weight class

Look at how skinny his bones and legs are.

 

[Royce's Gi]

Huge dude with skinny legs

[SuperAlly]

Dont you see his legs are literally half than those of the guys he has on his side?
Literally half as thick.

Do you understand that we leave in 3 dimensions?

Sherdog and its terrible body dismorphya

More importantly though, how many dimensions do you arrive in?

I got dumber with each line of this post I read.
