News Jalin Turner Retires After Loss @ UFC 313

[Black9]

Had him as one of the most hyped up LW prospects few years ago..
Thoughts?

 

[koa pomaikai]

He’ll be back in a year after he gets over this loss.

 

[CrimsonFan]

Who? Who cares

You have to accomplish something if we're gonna give a crap if you retire. And he's not gonna retire lol. He's just being a woman after a loss. Guarantee he will fight for money again

 

[BullyKutta]

"You can't fire me! I quit!" vibes here.

It's possible he's carrying an undisclosed injury that slowed him down, but losing 4 out of your last 5, and losing to a basic BJJ submission isn't a good look.

 

[TCE]

He'll be back in two months.

 

[podsox]

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

don't think he's done permanently, what would you even do at a young age other than continue fighting? Most fighters don't have a 2nd option

 

[AstralPanda]

Very hot and cold fighter

He could've been great

On that note, I'm not surprised.

He’ll be back in a year after he gets over this loss.

He's got the physical gifts, but you can tell that the weight class is just killing him.

You can't be THAT tall and fight at LW unless you're like 19. Whatever advantages he's gaining in reach, he's losing in durability and cardio. He fights like a man who just rolled out of bed

He needs a year to bulk up to 170, then give it one last shot. He's only 29.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He’ll be back in a year after he gets over this loss.

Yep. He's still young. He won't stay retired.

 

[joeybananas]

Probably best he retires, good skill set but not heart.

 

[PrideNverDies]

Turner won't retire he's just emotional. Matt Schnell is already back from his retirement

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Good move. I thought he was going to be the next Jon Jones at one point but he's 14-9 now. No one really makes a run again with a record like that. He's still young enough to find a new passion in life.

 

[Superior]

Might be for the best, he looked really bad tonight.

 

[GrantB13]

Can't say I'm upset. Too big for lightweight, got Luque'd at 170.

 

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

Next stop….UFC HoF

 

[frederick]

Meh fighters retire every other fight (then return a year or so later)

 

[The XL]

He should go to 170

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Probably needs a year to chill. That shit is rough

 

[tritestill]

Good for him, now do something else
