Jack “Phar”Jenkins

Jack Jenkins is an Australian mixed martial artist known as “Phar” who competes in the UFC featherweight division. As of October 2, 2026, the UFC lists him as active and training at Absolute Mixed Martial Arts. Jenkins is from Bacchus Marsh, Australia, stands 5 feet 7 inches, and has a 68-inch reach. His nickname honors Phar Lap, the celebrated Australian racehorse. Rather than the welterweight career described in earlier material, Jenkins’ verified UFC profile places him at featherweight.

Jenkins began training in combat sports at age 12 after his brother brought him to a kickboxing gym. He turned professional in 2016, earned his UFC opportunity with a Dana White’s Contender Series victory in September 2022, and made his Octagon debut on February 11, 2023. Before reaching the UFC, he held featherweight titles with Eternal MMA and Rogue. Jenkins describes himself as a freestyle fighter, but his own UFC profile highlights leg kicks as his favorite striking technique and the rear-naked choke as his favorite grappling technique; he is also a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. He completed most, but not all, of a commerce degree at Swinburne University.
