Jack Jenkins has been pulled from his scheduled fight against Marwan Rakhiki at UFC Perth, which takes place next weekend. No official replacement opponent has been announced yet. The event is scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM Moscow time, with the main card starting at 2:00 PM. The post includes the current main card lineup for the event.
Jack Jenkins has been withdrawn from his featherweight bout against Marwan Rakhiki at UFC Perth, the promotion confirmed ahead of the event scheduled for next weekend. No replacement opponent has been announced at this stage.
Jenkins, a 32-year-old Australian fighting out of Absolute Mixed Martial Arts, carries a 14-4 record and has built a reputation as one of the more technically sharp strikers in the featherweight division. Standing 170 cm with a 173 cm reach, he operates out of a switch stance and posts an eye-catching 61 percent striking accuracy alongside 4.48 significant strikes landed per minute. He also contributes on the ground, averaging nearly two takedowns per 15 minutes, making him a genuine two-dimensional threat.
Verified data for Rakhiki was not available in the AgentMMA database at time of publication.
Why it matters
- Jenkins vs. Rakhiki losing a competitor leaves a gap on a card that begins at 11:00 AM Moscow time, with the main card kicking off at 2:00 PM.
- No replacement has been named, meaning Rakhiki could be left without a bout entirely or face a short-notice opponent.
- Jenkins is a ranked or emerging contender whose absence removes a meaningful featherweight contest from the Australian card.
The event proceeds next weekend with the remainder of the announced main card intact, though the promotion has yet to address whether the Rakhiki booking will be salvaged with a substitute opponent.
