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

He doesn’t

 

[snaportap21]

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!

Justin said in a 2020 interview he steps into the cage at 173. If you then gave Justin another 24 hours to eat and gain weight he’s be around 181 as well. Jalin is definitely stepping in the cage around the same weight as Justin if an extra 24 hours later he’s only at 181.

It's funny how everyone notices the legs but not the other factors. Look at the length of Jalin's torso, despite being the tallest guy in the photo it's pretty obvious his torso is much shorter than Khamzats, might actually be shorter than all of theirs. Then look at the width of Khamzat and Jalins waist and their thickness of their frames. Jalin is tall, I'm not exactly sure he's "big", LW may or may not be a tough cut for him but if you look closely, he's no bigger than a WW, which is wher ehe used to fight.

lol exactly. His frame is narrow, it isn't just his legs.

You are clueless if you think Gaethje and Turner are even close sizewise.

Detachable penis

 

[Ace70 V2]

It's a trick question. He doesn't make 155. Ask Dan Hooker.

Not that far apart. Gaethje is a rather small LW but Turner is definitely not bigger than other LWs who are actually setting fight night weight recods at LW, unlike Jalin

Clueless are all these sherbros pretending to know better just based on their painfully simpleton eye tests.

Turner, or Joel Alvarez, are tall for LW but also significantly, noticeably, thinner and narrower.
We live in 3 dimensions
There are different body types.
Period

We are talking about weight here. Jalin literally has a video of him weighing himself the day after fight night. He was 181.6 lbs. that means on fight night he was around 175. How is that delusional?

 

[markantony20]

Apparently he took up the bold strategy of not actually making the weight.

Yeah, what’s 10 lbs or so between friends? The guy literally couldn’t make the 156 pound weight limit. He couldn’t do it.

Was Jon Jones also not that big LHW since he had skinny legs? He always made weight, too. There’s a difference between easily making weight and hydrating nicely and killing yourself to make weight (or not making it, like in this one). One does, one doesn’t. You make up your mind

 

[fightfan70]

well he has been training with khamzat.

he must of learned making weight is not that big of a deal.

or didnt want hooker accusing him of cheating

 

[Coolkid666]

He doesn't

 

[knock_you_out]

He doesn't!

Jones wasn’t that big of a LHW. He had the lower body of a MW and the upper body of a HW that’s a LHW frame. And again, Jalin walks around at the same weight as the LW goat. That’s a fact.

agree to disagree, i guess

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.

Reminds me of an islander guy I trained with.

I thought he was my weight class as we never competed at the same event. He was solid but I was about half a foot taller.

After about two years of training I find out he is about 110kg while I was 70ish .
Made me feel alot better about him nullifying my grappling despite not having trained as long.

 

[snaportap21]

So Jones doesn’t have the upper body of a hw and the lower body of a mw? where do you think he got the nickname bones from? his abnormally skinny legs. is this a joke? whatever you say pal.

Excuse me, I dont get your point.

Was Jones a big LHW? Yes...but not one of the biggest. OSP, for example, being around the same height, was a bigger LHW. And yes, the fact he had legs 3 times thicker than Jon have a lot to do with it

Turner is a big LW? Yes he is.
Is he bigger than some other big LW we have seen over the years? Nope.
Khabib also missed 155. Would you say he was a massive LW?

The pic with Pereira, if anything,.proves that Turner would be rather small for WW, considering he is noticeably thinner and narrower than Pereira, and you dont even show the legs in that pic which is pretty telling about how simpleton/uneducated/retarded sherbro eye tests can be

 

[ExitLUPin]

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

This pic is fucking hilarious in retrospect <Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>
