Profile
Overview
Jack Jenkins lands more than he takes and rarely misses, and in the UFC he is 4-3 anyway. Only one of those four wins came by knockout; the other three went to the scorecards.
"Phar" is a Featherweight out of Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, fighting out of Absolute Mixed Martial Arts. His overall professional record across all promotions is 14-5-0. In the UFC, he has one stoppage win and two stoppage losses, and he carries a one-fight losing streak into his next bout.
Good numbers, close fights. That is the story so far.
UFC Career
Jenkins fought on Dana White's Contender Series 6.10 in September 2022, beating Emiliano Linares by KO/TKO in round 3 at 4:30. That fight sits outside his UFC record. His UFC debut came at UFC 284 in February 2023, a unanimous decision over Don Shainis. A split decision over Jamall Emmers that June made it two straight.
Then came the first loss: a second-round KO/TKO to Chepe Mariscal at UFC 293 in September 2023. He returned in August 2024 at UFC 305 and stopped Herbert Burns at 0:48 of round 3, his only UFC finish.
Gabriel Santos submitted him in round 3 at UFC 312 in February 2025. A unanimous decision over Ramon Taveras in September 2025 got him back in the win column.
His latest fight was a split-decision loss to Sean Woodson, an opponent our model rates as strong. A close loss to a strong opponent is not a bad way to lose.
Fighting Style
Jenkins is an accurate, efficient striker who lands often and gets hit less than most. His takedown defense stands out too, and opponents have a hard time putting him on the mat.
He rarely hunts for submissions. His takedown attempts are about what you'd expect from a UFC fighter, so he wrestles when needed but doesn't build his game around it.
His finishes come late. His one UFC knockout win came in round 3, and none of his wins ended in the first round. Three of his four UFC wins went to the scorecards.
