Australian featherweight Jack Jenkins took a dominant win against Brazil’s Herbert Burns at UFC 305: Du Plessis vs Adesanya. The MMA event aired live from RAC Arena in Perth, Australia on Saturday, August 17 (ET).
Jenkins dropped Burns with a double jab followed by an overhand right, and continued pouring strikes on the ground. When the 31-year-old Melbourne native decided to return to standup striking, his 36-year-old opponent of Rio de Janeiro wouldn’t get back on his feet. As a result, referee Marc Goddard waved the fight off. The official time was 48 seconds into the third round.
With the victory by TKO, Jack Jenkins improved to 13-3 and rebounded from the defeat via TKO due to arm injury last September against Jose Mariscal. Herbert Burns dropped to 11-6 and lost his fourth fight in a row.
