News Jalin Turner misses weight for fight vs Dan Hooker

[Sincere Guy]

Yeah, they are trying to fuck over with Hooker clearly, after that IV story and all. If I were him, would deny the fight and get one at another opportunity.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

6'10 guy misses weight for his 126 pound cut

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

What???!!!

A 6’3 Lightweight missed weight

Wow so shocking

<[analyzed}>

 

[OldFashion]

Send him to middleweight where he belongs. Piece of shit weight bully

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Jalin got Islam's nurse on speed dial.

 

[King in the North]

Come on, Turner. Make the weight or move up. You’re effing huge.


That being said, the decision to not keep cutting makes me think he’s going to smoke Hooker. Even more than I did.

What would you think of a 1 point or 1/2 point deduction for missing weight?

I think it is fair. Currently the fighters gets an advantage in the competition that is not addressed by the financial penalty. Cases like this it seems like the fighters are accepting the fine and not trying to make weight just paying for an advantage, which is bullshit and not in line with what the ethics of combat sports should be.

Do you think it would result in too many cancelations?

 

[Question]

That's pretty significant and he was the last to weigh in so he probably put everything he's got in that cut.
He should probably consider moving up, the guy is tall and huge for the division.

Although I think this is first miss so we'll see what happens, but yeah lightweight definitely doesn't seem a long term thing for Turner.

I like it. On top of the opponent automatically getting your win bonus

I am 100% for a FULL POINT deduction for weight misses

I wouldn’t be mad at TWO POINTS… Weight missers would basically have to finish to win

Yeah, i think they would game the system and pull out for "medical undisclosed reasons" more often.

lol they tried to match Dan the can up with Tony Ferguson.. they aren't trying to fuck him over

That is where things get tricky.

I would personally trade the fine for the point or half point. I just think the "punishment fits the crime" better as this would at least attempt to offset the competitive advantage, which the fine does not do.

Turner fined 20%, fight goes ahead.

one point per-round... no eeking out a point win... specular finish or lose....

 

[XociDe]

It was always only a matter of time. He is far too big for 155.

I've been wanting to see that addition to the fine for a while now. Makes all the sense in the world for the reasons you mentioned.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

How the F that dude made 55 is beyond me to begin with. Like a telephone pole at LW.

2 points would result in too many cancelations in my opinion.

1 point would mean that if the overweight fighter wins 29-28, then it would be a draw. I personally find that to be fair but I know how much Vegas hates draws.

.5 point is arguably too small to matter as it would only matter in the case of a draw (unless I am missing something) which are pretty rare. But I guess a draw changing to a win for the guy who made weight does sound fair.
