Arm injury leads to defeat
Jenkins lost to Jose Mariscal via verbal submission (arm injury) at 3:19 of Round 2 at UFC 293 on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.
ANALYSIS
That's a crushing way to suffer your first UFC defeat. Fresh off a split decision win over Jamall Emmers in late-June, Jenkins found himself in a close, competitive fight here against Mariscal. He almost certainly won Round 1 and was well on his way to losing Round 2, at which point Mariscal spun him to the mat. Jenkins attempted to post and injured his arm in the process. He clearly had no chance of continuing. It is Jack's first loss since March 2018, a span of nine fights.

ANALYSIS
Less than a month after defeating Jamall Emmers at UFC on ABC 5, Jenkins has scheduled his third fight of 2023. Like the first, he will fight in his native Australia. Jenkins defeated Don Shainis the first time he fought in Australia this year.

Remains perfect in UFC
Jenkins defeated Jamall Emmers via split decision (27-30, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ABC 5 on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.
ANALYSIS
Whether or not Jenkins deserved to actually win is certainly up for debate, but he certainly put forth a strong effort as a +155 underdog. The two men fought to shockingly even terms for 10 minutes before Emmers landed a takedown and began to pull away in Round 3. Two of the three judges gave Jenkins each of the first two rounds, while the third gave them both to Emmers. Jack earned his UFC opportunity with a knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2022, and he's gone on to pick up a pair of decision wins (Emmers, Dan Shainis) in his first two official bouts with the company.

Facing off against Emmers

ANALYSIS
Jenkins is coming off a victory via unanimous decision in his UFC debut against Don Shainis back in February. Jenkins hasn't lost a professional match since 2018, and will look to keep his winning streak alive against Emmers, who is more experienced in the UFC with four contests under his belt already.
