Jack Jenkins
โก78%
This featherweight bout pits the experienced Jack Jenkins against the undefeated prospect Marwan Rahiki. Jenkins, with a professional record of 14-4-0, has a well-rounded skillset, boasting a good mix of KO, submission, and decision victories. His significant striking accuracy (61%) and solid takedown game (60% accuracy, 71% defense) make him a difficult opponent to deal with. He also has significantly more UFC experience with a 4-2 record in the promotion. Rahiki, on the other hand, is an explosive, undefeated fighter at 8-0-0, with a high finishing rate (7 KOs, 1 Sub). He is a high-volume striker (7.73 SLpM) but also absorbs a considerable amount of strikes (6.33 SApM). Rahiki's takedown defense is listed at 100%, but with a 0.00 TD Avg, it suggests he hasn't faced many grappling threats in the UFC yet. Jenkins' experience and grappling prowess will be key. He has the ability to weather Rahiki's early storm and then utilize his wrestling to control portions of the later rounds, wearing down the younger, less experienced fighter. While Rahiki's power is a threat, Jenkins' defensive grappling and ability to dictate the pace should allow him to secure rounds and ultimately win via decision. The home crowd advantage in Perth, Australia, for Jenkins could also play a subtle role.
