Jack Jenkins left UFC 293 with a loss and an arm injury.
As he attempted to defend a throw attempt by opponent Chepe Mariscal (15-6 MMA, 2-0 UFC) during the second round of their featherweight bout on the prelims of the event Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Jenkins (12-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) incorrectly planted on his right arm.
With his weight and gravity forcing his arm in a wrong-direction 90-degree angle, Jenkins was rendered unable to continue as he absorbed a Mariscal punch to the head. The TKO stoppage came at 3:19 of Round 2.
