Upcoming UFC 312 event in Sydney will feature Australian fighters Jack Jenkins and Tom Nolan. Jenkins seeks to regain momentum after a comeback win, while Nolan aims to solidify his status as a top prospect.
Australian duo Jack Jenkins and Tom Nolan have been added to UFC 312, which will be held in Sydney in February.Rising Australia featherweight Jack Jenkins will be looking to make up for lost time when he faces Brazil's Gabriel Santos at UFC 312 in Sydney next February. Jenkins made a stirring return to the octagon in August, claiming a knockout victory over Herbert Burns after almost a year out of the cage due to a serious elbow injury.
Now the Bacchus Marsh product has big plans for 2025 as he looks to rise up the UFC ranks the only way he knows how — with big finishes and plenty of them.'I just don't want to sit on the sidelines anymore. I was out for almost a year and just had to watch fights happen around me and not have any say in it or get in there,' Jenkins said. 'It doesn't matter what you do. If you get finishes, that pushes you forward. In terms of momentum, a win with a finish can be worth double or triple a win by decision. 'I know he is game. He's a very dangerous fighter. It's two guys with the skill and the talent to be in the top 10 or the top 15.' Jenkins is aiming to fight three times next year and hopes one of those bouts will double as his American debut as he returns to top form. He will be joined on UFC 312 by Queensland's Tom Nolan, who will be looking for a belated Christmas present when he faces Viacheslav 'Slava Claus' Borshchev at lightweight. Nolan is riding a two-fight win streak and, at 8-1, he is counted as one of the nation's top prospects. 'He has an aggressive style and he's super clean on the feet and he's well-known, this is a fight for me to put myself on the map. It's a big opportunity,' Nolan said.'He's very slick, so if I can do to him what I've been doing to other people it'll show how good I really am.' Nolan's creative striking has been a highlight of his four-fight stint with the UFC and he's aiming to showcase more of the same against Borshchev.
