Brad Riddel : tries to do smth vs Turner
Turner : Ding dongs him from 100000000kms
Or even better 
Gamrot : FINALLY Takes Turner down 
Turner : Casually stands up
The only reason why he isn't even in LW titlepicture is because UFC didn't push him into big fights which was I guess bevause Luque KO'd him at Welterweight but overall Jalin is a cool guy but holy sh't him being that big is kinda like a cheat code and honestly at this point we should have a height limit in place cause seriously it looks unfair how this guy can still fight at Lightweight when he is so big. But hey until he knocks out ****** Kickboxing fighters Im good with him being at 155. And I wanna see him rematch Luque (Im having a Luque slander season Im sorry) but maybe Im just stupid and it should be Riddel, Frevola, Gamrot and Tsarukyan who should change Weight classes from LW to FW

Turner was wresle**** to a decison by Frevola,  he wasn’t TKO, he wasn’t even dropped, I think the only person who knock him out in the UFC is Vicente

I have a lot of respect for Turner, Is a dude that really improve, went from a guy who had a mix record and look like a future journeyman , now is legimate contender that I thought beat Gamrot ,

Oops, yep a decision. Still I thought he was getting way too much rankings love UNTIL the Gamrot fight. I thought Gamrot won but Turner impressed in that fight.

I mean when I see Turner and I compare him to other lightweights all I see that he has litteraly both big height and reach adv which tbh its ******** he is allowed to compete in LW. Like no thats not ******* okay gtfo out of this weightclass idc if you can make weight. And his endurance doesn't even suffer from the cut. He's like Pereira in MW but with a chin and some tdd. Like nah gtfo, you're cheating your way to top10. And if you don't wanna go to 170 then **** you and see you in Bellator. UFC is a ******* joke for letting him in 155. ONE would have shoved the ****** into proper division.

ONE has some of the biggest weight bullies pretty obvious they got nothing under control.
The dude DJ fought was at least 2 full weight classes bigger lmao.

All things considered his geneticall superiority an all. Turner has 1 big issue, attitude. 
He has all the right to say he beat Mateusz Gamrot but him saying that he completely outclassed Gamrot. But in reality he outstruck Gamrot but thats all. He got outwrestled so bad that he was on the losing end of a split decision. Ok that happens but then he went on Sugas podcast a bragged about that he outclassed a top7 dude, that he beats full camp Gamrot n'all.
But now back to him vs Hooker. Im happy cause City Kickboxing bum is getting knocked tf out or becomes a walking punching bag. I honestly wish it goes for as long as it can so Dan Hooker takes more and more and more brain damage. After his fake accusation of Islam using IV when its illegal. And Turner is a perfect dude to dish that kind of punishment to Dan and I hope he gets the bump over RDA after he beats Hooker

He's a ****. Unlikable from every side. From fighting to personality. Unlike Rob, Rob is funny, he likes Skyrim and every guy who plays Skyrim is goated and even though Rob doesn't finish fights he's still entertaining and the only time we love Dan is when he is a human punching bag like he was for his Daddy : Edson Barboza.

Ali kinda make me believe Dan NGL, Ali tweeted this making him the biggest ****** in MMA because he make Dan accusation plausible when they're weren't any evidence, They're a chance he's just an idiot and Islam innocent, But he really made it look sus

Hopefully they find a replacement for saaiman to fight. There's a plethora of bantamweights to choose from so they probably will

Honestly I would not be surprised if that rly happened, but Islam looked horrible at Weigh ins. Like a dead man walking but I'd rather have him rehydrated via IV than have Rodriguez vs Emmett as the Main Event (Charles Oliveira was there yes, but he was a cornerman for Elves if Im not wrong)

Also one of City Kickboxing coaches recently stated on MMA hour that they have 0 evidence of Islam using an IV. So I suppose it was hard coping from Dan and Ali baiting. I mean anytime a City Kickboxing fighter not named Brad Riddel loses there is a lot of crying from City Kickboxing fighters (Especially Dan)
