Jalin Turner vs Benoit Saint-Denis

[RonDante]

That's not missing weight sir, every fighter gets a second chance normally.

Does every fighter need the second chance?

 

[StonedLemur]

Does every fighter need the second chance?

Do you realize how many have?

 

[RonDante]

Oh my god you know the exact point I’m making

 

[StonedLemur]

Oh my god you know the exact point I’m making

I think you just like to argue with me tbh.
The guy didn't miss weight, and until they change the weight cutting protocol it's moot.

 

[Safton]

Im pretty sure he doesn’t weigh an insane amount for a lightweight but he’s missed weight in his last two fights, most people don’t know about the last fight cause he made it on the second attempt but that’s two failures in 2 fights, he’s clearly struggling to make the division, he was on his way to a clear victory against hooker until he started getting touched up and his cardio started failing him, two attributes directly impacted by weight cutting

There are people who are deficient in those areas that are undersized for their divisions. One weight miss is something I'm willing to excuse; a lot of fighters miss weight at some point in their career without getting the weight bully scarlet letter attached to their name. Hell, I can think of at least one other 155er off the top of my head who has struggled with weight cuts, durability, and cardio but no one has demanded for him to move up at anywhere near the same rate.

It's all a moot point because I'm not even arguing whether Turner's performances are being affected by the weight cut. I personally think there is a decent chance they are, but my point is that until he starts missing the mark more than the one time it isn't the place of anyone else to arbitrarily decide that it's improper for him to compete at Lightweight on the basis of him being "too big". If he feels the juice is worth the proverbial squeeze, that's on him, his team, the athletic commissions, etc.

no thanks, God Of War deserves better.

Would rather see God Of War take dustin poirier's soul. Allow God Of War to make dustin his woman for the evening, i think he has done more than enough to secure that privilege.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Id rather BSD take a bigger step up.
Like lets see him vs Hooker or Gamrot or Dariush. Or even Gaethje .

He's not ready for Justin yet but will be within two fights. Needs more time to build.

 

[IneedSometop]

He literally needed a second try to make the weight against bobby

So what you’re saying is he made weight?

 

[RonDante]

So what you’re saying is he made weight?

He didn’t make weight the first time, he needed a second try, that’s what I said

 

[legcramp]

He literally made weight on a week's notice.

 

[IneedSometop]

He didn’t make weight the first time, he needed a second try, that’s what I said

*Checks his official weight* ahh yes 156 the LW limit. You said he missed weight 2 fights in a row in this thread which is untrue. Weighing in heavy on the first attempt isn't a unicorn occurrence and wholly irrelevant to him making the LW limit.

 

[Dana's Conscience]

Turner needs to move up 2 weight classes and stop this nonsense.. I'm tired of seeing his giant ass fighting LWs

It's a bit traumatizing when you make your UFC debut at WW against Vicente Luque and end up getting corpsed

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

I think it's a sick fight. BSD never fought someone with Turner's lanky style, and Turner needs another victory before they give him someone higher. Turner is #10 and BSD is #12.

Also everyone above is injured, booked or soon to be booked, Gamrot/RDA, Oliveira/Tsarukyan, Makhachev/Gaethje in the works, Fiziev is injured, Hooker needs surgery on his arm, Dariush said his coaches forced him to take time off until summer at least.

What do you say, book it or no ?

Winner gets a TS?

Not with his pasta legs

 

[kingmob6]

Not with his pasta legs

have you seen Jon Jones legs.

Jalin is thicker than Kevin Holland, and as big as Adesanya. He will have no issues carrying even more weight as a MW. He is actually a unit.

Shhhhh you know you’re wrong little boy, now jog on

Izzy has big thighs and jon jones too, kevin has bigger upper body than jalin.
Jalin legs are way too skinny for mw

Also there are 6'2 guys that fight at 145.

more like winner gets to fight someone in the top 7

 

[RockyLockridge]

Turner imo too far out. BSD should be getting a top 10-15 match up. CDF, fiziev, Porier, hooker or something like that should be the fight

Turner is #10. What are you talking about.

CDF is not even ranked we're not in 2019. Fiziev in injured. Hooker is getting surgery. Poirier won't fight #12 which is current BSD rank.

Again you guys need to read the OP fully before answering
