Just under a year after suffering an injury in his last fight, Jack Jenkins is back in the win column, defeating Herbert Burns during the UFC 305 prelims.

Jenkins overwhelmed Burns on the feet, as he worked several hard-hitting combinations, compared to the single shots that Burns offered. Burns dropped to his back multiple times during the second half of the fight, unsuccessfully inviting Jenkins to get into his guard, with the referee forcing the fight back to the feet.

Jenkins dropped Burns early in the third round with a low kick and punch, and Burns was unable to get to his feet, forcing the referee to stop the fight and award Jenkins the win.

Burns’s lackluster performance was targeted on social media.

Jenkins, who scored a third-round finish on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2022, is now 3-1 in the Octagon. The Australian native scored wins over Don Shainis and Jamall Emmers but suffered an arm injury against Chepe Mariscal at UFC 293 last year.

Burns has now lost four straight, having not tasted victory in the Octagon since UFC 250.

UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns is well aware that his brother Herbert is entering a must-win scenario this weekend.

The younger Burns sibling is among those set to make the walk to compete on the preliminary card of the UFC 305 numbered event, set to go down inside the RAC Arena in Perth.

The featherweight veteran has stepped in on short notice, replacing the injured Gavin Tucker to share the cage with Australia’s own Jack Jenkins.

It’s a key matchup for the 36-year-old Burns, who has lost three consecutive bouts by way of TKO since extending a win streak to five with a submission of Evan Dunham in early 2020.

Herbert has no doubt been getting plenty of brotherly support and encouragement in the lead-up to UFC 305. But also a reality check, with “Durinho” ensuring “The Blaze” knows what’s on the line…

Gilbert Burns: UFC 305 Fight Do Or Die For Brother Herbert’s Octagon Career

During a recent episode of his Show Me The Money podcast, Burns looked ahead to the upcoming numbered event, paying particularly close attention to his sibling’s scheduled appearance inside the cage.

“Durinho” acknowledged the stakes that surround the fight for Herbert given his losing skid and less than impressive displays, noting that his UFC career will be over if he doesn’t have his hand raised Down Under.

“My brother’s coming into a very hard moment, to be honest,” Burns said. “He had a shoulder injury (and) two LCL surgeries back-to-back. Last fight he lost by TKO; no confidence going into the fight, a lot of uncertainty. And (now) coming off three losses, bro. So he must win.

“It’s gonna be hard. I cannot be impartial on that fight; it’s my little brother,” Burns continued. “He must win this fight to keep his job. If he loses, we know he’s out, he has no chance. I talked to him yesterday night…he’s fighting 8 AM on Sunday there. … He’s acclimating very, very good. But Jack Jenkins, that guy has a good heart, couple crazy leg kicks, hits hard, durable. For sure I hope my brother wins, but the conversation we had before he leaves was like, ‘Bro, make sure you leave everything in that cage.’”

Burns will hope to return to his brother with a first victory since 2020 and a crucial rebound performance following a difficult run of knockout setbacks.

Should the Brazilian 36-year-old accomplish that feat at the expense of the home fighter this weekend, he would set the stage for his brother’s own key contest down the line. Gilbert is set to headline a UFC Fight Night at the Apex opposite Sean Brady early next month.

UFC Long Island

Bill Algeo and Herbert Burns will now face each other in a featherweight clash at UFC Long Island on July 16th after their original opponents Billy Quarantillo and Khusein Askhabov withdrew from the card.

In the co-main event, Miesha Tate makes her flyweight division debut when she takes on ‘Lucky’ Lauren Murphy. 

Bill Algeo and Herbert Burns Look To Get Back in The Win Column at UFC Long Island

Bill Algeo (15-6-0) has alternated wins and losses since making his UFC debut two years ago. In January, he earned a unanimous decision victory against Joanderson Brito. ‘Senor Perfecto’ looks to make it two-in-a-row for the first time in his UFC career when he steps into the Octagon against Herbert Burns.

Herbert Burns (11-3-0) returns to the Octagon for the first time in nearly two years. Sidelined with a knee injury, the last time fans saw ‘The Blaze’ in action was at UFC 252 when Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier completed their trilogy. In his last appearance, Daniel Pineda snapped Burns’ five-fight winning streak dating back to 2018. He now looks to get back into the win column at the expense of Algeo.
