Lightweight Jalin Turner recently went toe-to-toe with Bobby Green at UFC Austin’s co-main event. Turner knocked out the opponent in the way of a humongous right-handed shot and subsequent pounding. Now, in the aftermath of his victory, Turner has revealed weighing in at 180lbs. The 25lbs shift and cut in just under ten days, for the 155lbers, has left fans in a frenzy.

Turner’s victory against Green wasn’t without flaws. The fight saw a very late stoppage by referee Kerry Hatley. In the heat of the battle, Turner subjected the unresponsive and downed opponent to a swarm of pounding, unwarranted. Hatley caught flack from a lot of fans and peers, outraged at this stoppage. Even Dana White has chimed in on the matter.

The picture in question is a snap from Turner, the 14-7-0 lightweight’s live coverage. Globally, in combat sports, ‘lightweight’ is for the 145 to 155 lb limit; with UFC putting it at 146 lbs mark, reinstating the division at UFC 58. It had been dormant since UFC 49.

Many fans have thus speculated that this has been the gravitating factor as to how he was able to beat Green so flawlessly and dominantly. Others, however, have commended in awe. Turner, the southpaw, usually has a stated weight of 155-156 lbs. It is, however, not uncommon for a lightweight to overshoot and then cut back.

Correspondingly, this has ignited a lot of fan reactions. Significantly enough, this is not the only time Turner’s weightage has been pondered on. Similarly, a while back this year, a training montage between Turner and middleweight Khamzat Chimaev surfaced, in Dubai. The “Borz” who competes at 170 – 185 lbs was seemingly and comparably smaller than Turner.
