Jack Jenkins Outworks Ramon Taveras in Tactical Decision
Perth, Australia — September 27, 2025
Australian featherweight Jack Jenkins (13-3) delivered a calculated and commanding performance at UFC Fight Night: Ulberg vs. Reyes, earning a unanimous decision victory over American striker Ramon Taveras (9-3). Judges scored the bout 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28, as Jenkins showcased superior cage control, volume striking, and composure under pressure inside RAC Arena.
Jenkins’ Game Plan Shuts Down Taveras
From the opening round, Jenkins established his rhythm with sharp leg kicks, crisp boxing combinations, and relentless forward pressure. Taveras attempted to counter with power shots, but Jenkins’ movement and defensive awareness kept him out of danger.
Round 2 saw Jenkins turn up the pace, mixing in takedown attempts and clinch control to frustrate Taveras. By Round 3, Jenkins was in full command—dictating range, landing clean shots, and neutralizing Taveras’ offense.
“I knew I had to stay smart and stay busy,” Jenkins said post-fight. “He’s dangerous, but I made him fight my fight.”
Taveras Struggles to Find His Range
Ramon Taveras entered the bout with knockout power and a reputation for explosive finishes, but Jenkins’ volume and footwork kept him off balance. While Taveras landed a few clean shots in Round 1, he couldn’t sustain momentum or break Jenkins’ rhythm.
The loss drops Taveras to 9-3 and highlights the need for adjustments against high-output, technically sound opponents.
Jenkins’ Rise in the Featherweight Division
With the win, Jack Jenkins improves to 13-3 and continues his climb in the UFC’s featherweight ranks. His ability to blend striking, grappling, and fight IQ makes him a dangerous matchup for anyone in the top 15.
Promoters are reportedly eyeing a late-2025 matchup between Jenkins and Nate Landwehr, who recently suffered a KO loss at UFC Paris.
Conclusion
Jack Jenkins’ unanimous decision win over Ramon Taveras wasn’t just a victory—it was a tactical masterclass.
