2022 Professional Fighters League featherweight runner-up Bubba Jenkins feels like a different fighter this year and believes his moment to shine has come.
Bubba Jenkins (20-6, 6-2 PFL) started the 2023 Regular Season on the right foot after defeating long-term rival Chris Wade in a much-heated rematch. In their first clash, Wade took home the victory after outpointing the “Bad Man” on all scorecards. In their 2023 PFL 1 rematch, former Brave Combat Federation titleholder Jenkins proved his wrestling pedigree was too much to handle for Wade, leading to a unanimous decision victory for the “Bad Man." Now that Jenkins has evened the score with “The Long Island Killer,” he is looking ahead, and while he doesn’t exclude that the rubber match with Wade might happen sooner or later, he is entirely focusing on joining the short-listed club of PFL featherweight champions in the likes of Lance Palmer, Movlid Khaybulaev and Brendan Loughnane.
