[GolovKing]

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

If you can follow along with what I say then it should make you more knowledgeable, but that's assuming you're not a retard to start with of course

Your post was so ill informed its crazy

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

even with skinny legs its still incredible that he makes 155.. he is a giant in that division

 

[Bearknuckle]

Ever heard of big boned. He’s Lil Boned.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

His legs literally are toothpicks

That's why he's grabbing the two other guys his legs won't support him.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

He's not a bird, it's not bone density lmao. Jalins legs are tiny, particularly his thighs where most of the mass is, his thighs are smaller than some guys calves. He's also all legs, his torso is very short and narrow waist.

Dude's build is the opposite of Reyes.

But people say Khamzat can never make WW again but Turner will make LW easy.

He is big yeah.
Super skinny legs and narrow, thin upperbody.
He is not setting weightcutting records in the division. At all.
Sherbros have a hard time grasping that there are different body types

What exactly was incorrect? Tell me

 

[ExitLUPin]

With HOOGE WW Michel. He looks smaller but not by much. How the hell.....

 

[SalvadorAllende]

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.

Yeah.. size is not everything.

I remember 5ft7 Arman brutalizing Joel Alvarez who is similar to Turner. It was violent.

 

[Mammothman]

Khamzat have a fucking long and wide torso, no wonder his core strenght is insane.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

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

He’s a big mofo, that’s for sure

 

[J Danger]

His legs literally are toothpicks

I’ve seen him at Carlson Gracie’s a few times. Definitely big for a LW, but yeah his legs are definitely helping with his overall weight.

 

[RonDante]

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

He just didn’t beat gamrot though did he, I give gamrot every round. The “knockdowns” were caused by gamrot ducking down and losing his footing, in the first round his foot twists underneath him as he ducks and he falls, in the second his head is down near turners knees and he falls on his ass without turner even touching him. Third round damage was pretty equal but gamrot had the grappling advantage

 

[snaportap21]

Biggest weight bully ever... should be a 205er or more with his frame...

Should be embarrassed honestly

These aren’t frame divisions these are weight divisions. Jalin has no lower body. If he fought up in weight he’d likely muscled around.

 

[HuskySamoan]

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

It's a common trend for black athletes to have narrower waists, shorter torsos and longer legs and arms for sure. I wouldn't say this inherently correlates to an advantage though, in wrestling the opposite often seems true, Judo as well...not that black athletes or people with the aforementioned build haven't had success but in general, thicker built guys do better. Beyond that, in boxing you can chalk up a lot of African American success to epigenetics and social influence, less academic opportunity, more recent generations of their families being laborious and physical, disproportionate amount of them pursuing sports in general relative to population and it compounds over time along with creating a strong culture within their communities for it. That said in Russia you see similar with Caucasians, in Asia with combat sports you see similar with certain regions despite small populations and less resources Kazakhs in boxing, Uzbeks in many combat sports etc or look at Polynesians for Rugby in New Zealand and Australia. If it was such a stark advantage, simply put Africans would be winning everything and that's just not the case. There's advantages and disadvantages to all body types and approaches.

Yeah.. size is not everything.

I remember 5ft7 Arman brutalizing Joel Alvarez who is similar to Turner. It was violent.

Joel should move up to WW (he will still be yuge in that division). I'm pretty sure his insane cut helped him breaking his rib in the first scramble on the Arman fight. Maybe freak accident, but idk... He tried toughing through that and it backfired. Bad cornering & reffing too.

 

[cmw43]

He's got a huge frame but he's really lean, not like Tibau back in the day, now he was a big lightweight.

 

[pankrat]

Yeah big, but would be undersized at WW. Here he is next to a WW in Maia:



Turner and Joel Alvarez are big LWs, with large but thin frame. To say they would be big at WW as well though is fkn retarded and shows not even basic understanding of the human body.
