Media How the hell does Jalin Turner make 155?

Jalin weighs as much as Poirier, Gathje, Islam and more. Jalin just has a weird body type. He still gets out muscled in grappling exchanges at LW. WW may be an extremely tough weight class for him because of his very thin frame.

He walks around at a similar weight as those mentioned because he literally has too in order to make 155, walk around any higher and the weight cut is to much (clearly it was this time around)

He could easily up his caloric intake and put muscle onto that frame and still be a giant WW, that alone should tell you that LW is not ideal for someone as big as him.
 
All of a sudden this thread emerges out of nowhere and he "misses weight"... Payroll in full speed lol.

As I said before he gets muscled around at LW. Did you see the Gamrot fight? Could you imagine if it was someone bigger. I could be wrong, though. I’m operating under the assumption that he’d still be very skinny at WW based on his legs. Maybe he can get up to 200lbs unbeknownst to me. A day after the fight hes 181lbs. That’s means with 48 hours to rehydrate he gets to the fight night weight of people like Islam or Poirier.
 
I know Turner missed weight but he missed weight as much as Beneil Dariush.

I can’t say he’s never missed weight anymore. He’s just irresponsible. Even Khabib has missed weight. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t belong in the division. Perhaps something went wrong with his cut. He’s still lighter than people like Islam or Poirier and Gaethje.

Nah he probably had a good reason. He’s emcrrmissed b

You really think he compares to Gaethje, who’s one of the smallest of the elite guys? He really doesn’t cut much.

Poirier and Islam are both big boys for the LW division. Islam is also close to death when cutting weigh, especially if it’s not in Abu Dhabi where the weight cuts are a little bit easier.

Turner is still a foot taller than those guys, though lol

Guys like Khabib and poirier can go close to 200 pounds out of camp, but it's not all muscle. They put in some fat as well. That's why it's easier for them to drop it (well, khabib likes his tiramisu a bit too much...)
Guys like Jalin and Joel weigh close to 200 pounds in between camps, but they still are fucking ripped. Dropping +40 pounds in these conditions is pure insanity.

I didn't think he got muscled around in the Gamrot fight. He arguably won it and Gamrot looked considerably smaller too.

Seriously, why are you placing Gaethje with these guys? He’s not breaking 180 and cuts from 160-something.

”I start my training camps at 166lbs”

Jalin was 181 48 hours after a weigh in. That’s Justin’s weight. Jalin just has a very weird body type

Nope, Justin has recently said in one of his interviews that he starts his fightcamps at 166 lbs. He doesn’t cut much at all and is on the smaller side.

Jalin is huge. 181 a couple days after the weigh in is a lot!
