Jalin Turner is a weight bully..Thats all he is

[Benoitthegr8]

Hooker stayed up.
Turner dropped down.
Hooker had a locked sub and jalin needed to get saved by the belt.

Hooker had more effect with his big shot than turner and had a near finish

A kick is flashy way more than a punches but round ain't score on flashinest its score on damage, impact and effective grappling so there is no way you can actually justify the second round for Turner

Unless your name is Adelaide Byrd…

Love seeing guys who miss weight lose, ultimate karma.

No win bonus and 20% of his show purse. LOL
Love it.

 

[Human Bass]

Imo he won, Hooker is a true warrior but his strong finish at the end of R2 wasnt enough to steal the round, R1 and R2 Tarantula, R3 Hooker, but I cant complain and say it was a robbery

A locked RNC is a much worse situation than being rocked with no knock down

 

[Fatback96]

The guy forgets how to fight when anyone fights him back.

i dunno how you don't give the round to the guy who was 1 second from sinking the rnc

 

[HatKick]

That's a bad loss for Turner. Hooker was a good matchup for him. A standup fighter with porous defense who's been knocked out a couple of times already. The type of guy Turner should beat if he was legit. I guess I overestimated him.
Does he keep grinding at LW or does he move up and gets murked at WW? Tough spot...

Congrats to Hooker who's been through a bad stretch lately.

 

[neandertal]

Time for 165 and 175 divisions.

 

[HolmeZy55]

He is fooked either way it seems, if he tries to stay at LW he either keeps missing weight or losing to the best guys, if he moves up he gets decimated by any legit WW.

 

[regmma123]

Yeah but being 6'3 and trying to fight at 155 is pathetic

Deron Winn was a 5'6" middleweight who actually had success

you answered yourself

 

[kuroro]

you answered yourself

so you dont give a round to someone who knocks their opponent down because they didn't get ko'd?

 

[The_Renaissance]

He was made to look kinda ordinary by a guy not much smaller than him, yeah. Hooker negated a lot of his advantages and it showed.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Has he ever competed at 170 before? Once?

He's weighed in 25 times before this at lightweight and he missed by 2 pounds this time?

Man, you guys are all wrong. Fuck WW. Guy should be fined his full purse, publicly executed, and then released from the UFC. In that order

 

[Siver!]

I wondered this at the time, I thought I bet this gets scored for Hooker, but I wasn't so sure.

I bet if Turner had got the decision, he would have been booed out the building and everyone would have cried robbery - but there's a legitimate argument.

 

[regmma123]

Has he ever competed at 170 before?

He's weighed in 26 times before this at lightweight and he missed by 2 pounds this time?

6' 3" is just too tall for 155

Imagine Volkanovski vs Turner

I thought so too, although I was happy to see Hooker get the win.

Says yo, with very little concept of morph.

Why would I imagine that? What end does that serve?

 

[WolverReem]

Ya reminds me of that other super mediocre guy. Sean something? Way too big a frame for LW

Agreed! If he had a history of missing weight I'd carry him to the gallows myself, but one time I can give a slight pass to.

Sherk.

That guy was way too tall for LW if you ask me
