00:25there uh but he's taking on jalen turner who just his last fight you know he retired afterwards he

00:33looked he had no competitive heart uh he just didn't seem into it you know coming off a loss

00:38to moicano previous to that he's had a bit of a tough run and barbosa you know he just fought a

00:45pretty tough fight against jakar close where he actually outstruck close and jakar close he's no

00:50joke i mean he's a solid 155 er uh yeah neither is murphy right like if you look at barbosa

01:03look he fought bryce mitchell he fought murphy he fought close like you said uh he beat yusef like

01:09he you know he's he's fought the top guys in the division you got to give him credit for a 39 year

01:15old and he'll be hungry to hang on too right you get these guys that are sort of hungry fighters that

01:20they're into the late 30s they don't want to let this career go yeah that's the thing about the

01:25brazilian fighters you you never can question their heart and he's a guy that i mean he'll

01:30probably once his ufc career is over you'll see him he'll move over he'll do some boxing fights he'll

01:36do you know he'll he'll mix it up in the other organizations uh he's just one of those guys he's

01:41just doesn't these guys don't want to go away these brazilian fighters they just they they're they're

01:46fighting is in their blood it's what they do they're fighters that's who they are exactly

01:50exactly exactly vanderlei silver should probably wrap it up but that's yeah right eventually they

01:56should stop at some point but you know they don't but uh yeah i mean jay plus 240 i like where you're

02:04going with this yeah i mean turner you know he's got the skills he's a massive 55er he's tall he's long

02:11he's got big power he is extremely dangerous he's a guy that you know i i was a fan of i still am i'm a

02:18fan of the guy he's he's a good fighter i like him um but i just feel like if he doesn't get that

02:23early success if he doesn't get that quick finish i feel like there's going to be a point in this

02:27fight where he's questioning himself again and i i know for a fact barbosa is going to keep moving

02:32forward and if barbosa gets his leg kicks going which he's extremely good at i think it could be a

02:38real problem for jaylen turner so at plus 240 you know a guy who just retired now he's coming back

02:45you know questionable what he's doing in the fight game against a guy like barbosa yeah give

02:51me barbosa all day every day i mean i i it's it's worth a shot every day every day of the week

02:57you
