Emmers vs Jenkins Prediction

On paper, Jamall Emmers has been on an impressive run, going 6-2 in his last eight fights. He's 2-2 thus far in his UFC return and is coming off a unanimous decision over Khusein Askhabov in February. Having said that, Emmers has yet to win back-to-back fights in the UFC.

On the other side, Jack Jenkins found success in his PPV debut at UFC 284, overcoming Don Shainis by points. The Australian scrapper is now 8-0 in his last eight fights, having won three times by knockout and twice by submission during that run.

The odds favor Emmers, but I'm siding with Jenkins. The underdog has the tools to hang in with the more experience Emmers, possessing 69% striking accuracy compared to the latter's 50% clip. Jenkins also averages 4.07 takedowns per 15 minutes with 72% accuracy and 80% defense, highlighting that he can more than hold his own on the mat.

With how inconsistent Emmers has been to begin his UFC career, I won't be shocked if Jenkins gives him more than what he bargained for.

Winner: Jack Jenkins
