UFC Fighter ‘Phar’ Jack Jenkins (12-3), joined the boys from ‘Who The Fook Are These Guys’ podcast on Episode 104, where he outlaid his desired return…
Jack, who suffered a devastating elbow injury at UFC 293 in Sydney back in September, said:
“I want 3 fights, sort of April timeline. So maybe [UFC] 300 or one after.”
He later went on to explain why he thinks he’d be the perfect UFC fighter to be booked on the historical card.
“My pitch for [UFC] 300 is pretty simple. Nate ‘The Train’, he’s coming off a loss. I’m coming off a loss. I think he’s 4-1 in the UFC, I’m 2-1. We’re not gonna grapple, it’s not gonna be boring. We’re both going to stand and bang.”
He goes on to explain the financial benefits of his pitch:
“I’m on my first contract still, so it’s going to be cheap. Right at the top is going to be so expensive. Fill out the bottom of the card with someone who’s already got a relatively good profile for someone 3 fights in.”
Jack Jenkins then outlined the rest of his plans, stating that there are industry "whispers" that the UFC will be returning to Perth in July. He then states he’d like to have another fight in September or October to round out the year.
Jenkins, who recently reigned Australia as the Eternal MMA 145lb champion before making his mark on ‘Dana White Contender Series’ where he was dubbed a ‘one trick pony’ by the boss Dana White. Despite that moniker, Jack Jenkins would go on to pick up 2 straight victories before the freak injury in Sydney.
The Absolute MMA stand out is definitely a name to remember in mixed martial arts and one to keep an eye out in 2024.
