"Consistency beats intensity if you want to make it to fight week healthy." - Jack Jenkins
Meet Jack
Jack Jenkins is one of Australia's most exciting rising stars in the UFC featherweight division. Known as "Phar Jack," he blends technical striking with relentless pressure-crowd-pleasing, ruthless, and composed under fire. A former Eternal MMA Featherweight Champion, Jack earned his UFC contract in 2022 on Dana White's Contender Series, showcasing the skillset and poise now on display at the highest level.
Away from the Octagon, Jack backs discipline over hype. He's big on routine, recovery, and inspiring the next generation to show up-every session, every day. When he switches off, you'll likely find him at the horse races or on the golf course (member at Peninsula Kingswood).

Quick Q&A with Jack
Elite Supps: What's the non-negotiable in camp?
Jack:Sleep. If I win the night, I win the morning. Everything else stacks from there.
Elite Supps:Your post-grappling ritual?
Jack:Flush bike, stretch strap for hips/lats, then electrolytes while I debrief the round.
Elite Supps:Favourite "hard thing" that pays off on fight night?

Elite Supps:One line for younger athletes?
Jack: Show up. Consistency over intensity.
