I point that out because even though he’s not especially young, he’s still relatively new to the MMA game, making his pro debut in 2016.
His last two losses came in late 2017 and early 2018, shortly after he transitioned from being a part-time rugby player to a full-time fighter. Prior to his Contender Series bout, he was riding a six-fight winning streak and was the featherweight champion of the Oceanic promotion Eternal MMA. Jenkins has made just two appearances under the UFC banner, including his fight on Contender Series. It’s time to find out if we have another Australian contender on our hands – and if we have a buy-low opportunity on our hands in the betting markets – with UFC Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon.
Before the Alexander Volkanovski comparisons go to “Phar,” though, Jack Jenkins needs to get through Jamall Emmers.Įmmers is 2-2 in the UFC and coming off a win in his last fight. The UFC’s latest prospect out of Australia is a short, stocky featherweight with a background in wrestling and rugby.Īlong with the stylistic similarities, he’s also an occasional training partner of the featherweight champ while possessing a similar fighting style.
