Jalin Turner 'Didn't Have a Choice Not to Take' Bobby Green on Short Notice | UFC Austin 

This is sad is really does sound like he’s being forced to take this fight or else there’s consequences. Not the best conditions to take this fight and the weight cut. Red flag for me I can’t bet him

Fascinating listening to him talk so openly about how the Hooker fight affected him mentally. He comes across very well. Bewildering why the ufc insisted going for him when so many other fighters were putting their name forward

That second reporter literally just repeated things that were already confirmed previously, ridiculous.

Damn. Sounds like the bosses manipulated him like bosses do.

After this, I'll admit, I'm a Turner fan. Seems like a genuine guy.

This guy is obviously way too big to be optimally strong at 155, in these fast, extreme weight cutting battles before the fight. He hardly has energy to keep his eyes open, here and there's many pounds left to go. He is bigger & taller than Leon, with 3-4 reach advantage over the 170 champ, who himself already is one of the biggest for a Welterweight.

Full camp? Jalin turner all day. But taking this fight on such short notice? After Thanksgiving? When he already struggled to make weight against dan hooker???? Mannnnnn the red flags are there! i got a baddddd feeling about this one for turner 💀 and even the overall vibes from turner aint looking to good.

He doesn't look good due to the weight cut but l think he'll KO Green. Let's not forget he was Strickland's training partner leading up to the Adesanya fight. I think Green's handsdown style won't work too well against Turner.

Can we get a round of applause for the 2nd person to ask a question... The individual hit us with this doozy of a ...question....paragraph. ..thing..? "I notice you're going out there and just performing, what do you- what do you win on Saturday? When does? What does that get you you think? Does that get you up there? They?" This man has blessed us with a question that is so beyond us that it defies logic. Listen at 0.25 speed hahha im too high for that

My guy needs to move up to 170 already

no way my guy makes weight😢

Jalin is a great fighter. Love watching him fight! Pulling for you bro! So laid back, seems like such a chill dude ! Do your thing Jalin! Thinking about what he said about hooker you wouldnt think that would be going through his mind but shows you they have hearts too

Man I’m scared. You can tell the weight cut is already affecting him. Such a G to step up on short notice like this but damn wouldn’t be surprised if the betting lines swing before weigh ins

San Bernardino’s finest !!!! Love y’all 👀🥊❤️🩷💜

I’m a fan of Jalin!

Nobody is talking about how he was basically forced into taking this fight

Damn he sounds like his heart ain’t in for this fight.

Respect to Jalin for having concern for Dan in the hospital don’t here that a lot that’s a solid dude

Let’s go Jalin!!!!!!!!!

I think he's in a diff league then Bobby green fighting wise.. But that weight cut is hurtinnnn

There’s no fighter that I am more concerned for this weekend than Turner…

I'm excited to see jalin put it all together and go alll the way. His combo tree is the most sofisticatrd ive ever seen.

People talking about the weight cut lol he’s going against Bobby green. He couldn’t miss by 5 pounds and Bobbie will still say yes. . The fight will happen. It just means more money for Bobby.

That man is a professional, but I can literally see the drain of energy and life in his face through all the smiles and gestures. It's so obvious

That weight cut has to be tough

I'm really confused with the first few answers he gave. He didn't have a choice? Make it catch weight. Asking one of the biggest dudes in the division to make 156 in 2 weeks is tough

So,what's THE 8 fight parlay, anyone?

That one tired ass kid in the back of the class room with the hoodie and headphones 😂

This is a step down fight for Turner... If he finds a way to lose this one it's pretty clear he's a journeyman.

Sean Strickland said something profound about Jalin: he stated that Jalin doesn't work hard enough and i actually believe Sean. Jalin struggles to make weight in his regular fights. He has all the ability in the world and should be fighting for the title given his skills.

Pretty sad that the ufc forced him into the fight, but if history shows, the ufc does appreciate when fighters do this so hopefully they look after him

I’m a fan of dude. Let’s go turner!!

You can hear that weight cut affecting him, listen to his voice

If you feel bad after a fight, you might be in the wrong sport bud.

Bobby’s training for a 5 round fight against a taller opponent already. Jalen is bigger but Bobby is a vet I bet he’s sparred against guys bigger than turner

What a cool guy

Sounds to me like they want him to lose because they know that he cant that weight that easy they know that and he sounds like he didn't want to fight bobby green that's for sure and the UFC wants him to fight like he said every1 else wanted that fight and they called someone that is ranked ahead of him which is JALIN sounds like the UFC wants BOBBY GREEN to win the fight. 💯💯

Bro sounds horrible

If he fights Dan again and doesn't manage to break his arm in the first round, he's in for a harder fight. Respect though, tarantula 🙌

Mans humble let’s all take a second to respect a real sportsman! 🫡

He sounds like he lost already

I believe the UFC is looking to match the winner of this fight with Benoit Saint Denis. See if he can beat someone like a green which would be a fight of the night and get some eyes on em and itd be a fight of the night possibly and most likely. Than they can start that push. Just my opinion but i just can't find another idea for why theyd do Jalen like that

Young lion. I love turner.

Put the house on Green after this interview

he looks like he dont want to be there, but i believe he's more well rounded fighter than bobby, but bobby is on fire right now, so i think this is one of the hardest pick on the card

Really heat they pretty much forced him to take it even tho everyone know it’s going to be a banger

Bro that’s not a good mindset to have fighting Bobby green. He’s slick and comes to perform. Don’t sleep on him

A lot of fighters stepped up to face Bobby but the ufc picked the dude who rejected the fight when offered. Hopefully turner gets a really nice paycheck for almost cutting down 40 pounds in short notice.

They way he avoided the question on Rampage's podcast, I'm pretty sure he was offered big money to take the fight.

Gotta do my job aint good enough for bobby green , ontop of not wanting it , the fighter that loves to fight will always be my pick dog or not

Future Champ 🏆

There you have it folks, these days the UFC is brutal to fighters who don’t make weight even just once, especially to non-headlining American fighters. Fighters from outside the US get more leniency due to the international market value they could bring to the Brand. That damm Patriot Dana smh

Damn they set him up for failure forcing him to fight to bring up Bobby green

Just fight at catchweight ffs

Respect. Appreciated his comments regarding Hooker. Champion-esque words.

He doesn't look good.

He is so not what I thought he would be by looking at him. So chill, whereas I thought he would be a more berserko extrovert type the likes of Johnny Walker. Shows that one shouldn't judge a book :D

Let me guess Sean Shelby told him "either take this fight or we are cutting you" which makes no sense

Max Holloway vibes

Love Bobby but he might lose to Jalin . Who you guys got ?

Hard to bet on him who’s not hungry

the entire roster wants to be on ufc 300 lmfao

Thats the voice of a man who hasnt touched liquid in 3 days

Hoping he doesnt make weight, isn't allwed to fight and finally moves up to 170. This cut seems rough af.. Mistakes in this game can change you forever.

Can't stand these kind of fights. Similar to the Usman khamzat and volk vs islam. It's like yeah we want to see theses match-ups but not like this

He does NOT seem okay

Hell yeah! King Green and Jalin are both cavemen 💪💪 unfortunately one has to lose..

He looks drained

weight cut looks brutal, but i still have him ko bobby in the 2nd lmao

2:18 "I really took years off this man's life" That's not true. Most of the damage was superficial cuts, bumps, and bruises. Sure, the impact to the head isn't good for brain health, but all of the damage doesn't collectively add up to meaning Dan will die sooner than he otherwise would.

Big fan of him, but he doesn’t really have the mindset of a future champion if i’m being honest. Not by the sounds of this interview.

He is out of it.... that's messed up that they made him fight

Move to WW or Middlweight learn from the late Anthony Johnson.

Even more bullshit Jared didn't get the fight

All ya that have never laced em up that do this "he's a weight bully" shtick I hope y feel the same for Khabib, Conor's FW stint, Figgy's FW stint, Emmett, Romero, Cormier, Hendricks, Florian, Meynard... the current LW champ Islam who cuts 35-40 pounds.. Alex who cut around 40-45 pounds to make middleweight... ya only use this comment when it fits the narrative ya try to push. Bunch of weirdos lmaoo

Dan fought with a broken wing for half the fight I think rematch favors Dan his toughness and mindset is what separates them.

He sounds like me right now, and im sick as a dog.

2nd interviewer is embarassing

In other words "Fight for your ranking, Bobby's a bigger draw."

BOBBY GREEN REALLY ABOUT TO KNOCK OUT JALIN TURNER HAHAH MMA IS WILD. SHORT NOTICE OR NOT.

Miesha Tate is on the prelims of a tv card 😳

I don't think he's suffering as much as people are making out... I mean he's suffering more than 90% of people in comments could handle but he has done it before and yeah failed but we'll see come weigh-ins. Imo I think the slow talking and weirdness is just who Turner is. Also I do believe because he's missed weight before they told him it's make weight for this fight and prove you are a LW on short notice or your next fight will be at welterweight ... He's a string bean! I know everyone harps on about him being a weight bully but the guy is not heavy set by any imagination ... I mean he lost to Hooker .. no diss Dan The Hangman is the guy! But he also made FW and got destroyed by the Almighty One!

Ill be shocked if he makes weight

This man looks like he’s on death’s doorstep. Such respect for his ability to stay chill just from what he is going through physically. I’d be getting angry with every single reporter and their face.

u always have a choice. aint 1800s bro

The UFC would never pull some scummy shit like force a fighter to take a fight or threaten his future with the company, right? right???

The fact he’s as tall as light heavy weights and not slapping light weights around like children is so weird. He’s like a failed weight bully to the point that he’s just barely ranked and floating in the rankings. I just don’t respect that hes that’s big in that division. He should at least do welter.

I was in Vegas for the hooker fight it was so entertaining 🔥🔥 btw Turner deff beat gamrot

Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest weight bully in the sport.

u just lost a fight, why would u expect to fight up and not down lol

What a lame situation for this dude to be forced into

Julian Turner 🔥🇺🇲 to be honest You vs Hooker was supposed to be a draw that was a robbery Bro

when he misses weight remember that the UFC basically forced him to take this fight

Not good. He said no a couple times then ufc basically said take this fight or else, so he took it. Win or lose, he loses. UFC will have shitty on because he said no and they bumped his pay up. There is no way he performs optimally in this fight. UFC cares about the money to make not the fighters health. What BS. I hope he does well but Bobby is ready and focused. He’s in real tough.

Says he had to take time off cause he hurt Hooker so bad, then he says he wants a rematch 😂

he's not gonna make weight is he...

BLACK ON BLACK CRIME LMFAO😂😂😂 COOL DUDE!

UFC need to start making fighters fight at or near their walk-around weight. These weight bullies are scared to fight other fighters at their "real" weight. Also, UFC needs to cut fighters who are refusing to fight. Exceptions would be if they were injured, family emergency, or travel visa issues.

Hes gunna miss weight for sure

😂
