Streaking light heavyweight contender, Carlos Ulberg initially believed he was set to go to the judge’s scorecards for his UFC 293 featured preliminary clash with Da Woon Jung tonight in Sydney, Australia — however, in bizarre fashion, was awarded a late submission win in the third round, after a replay review showed a submission win due to rear-naked choke with just 11 seconds remaining in the bout.

Ulberg, who has landed victories in five consecutive Octagon walks, entered tonight’s pairing with Jung off the back of an impressive first round knockout win over Ihor Portieria at UFC Fight Night Charlotte back in May — earning himself a Performance of the Night bonus to boot.

And now extended his winning run to five consecutive outings, Ulberg sets himself as the current most winningest light heavyweight in the promotion’s division, forcing a late submission win — after replay footage following the conclusion of the bout showed a clear tap due to a rear-naked choke with 11 seconds left in the third and final round.

Australian standout Jack Jenkins suffered a nasty elbow injury in the second round of his scrap with Chepe Mariscal at UFC 293.

With less than two minutes to go in the middle round, both fighters were clinched up near the fence. With a whizzer locked in on his opponent, Mariscal attempted a whizzer kick to drag Jenkins to the mat. The move was successful, but in an attempt to brace himself for the impact, Jenkins posted with his right arm resulting in the weight of his body coming down on his own arm and dislocating his elbow.

Laying face down and no longer able to move, Jack Jenkins verbally tapped out to end the fight at the 3:19 mark of the second round. Rushing into the Octagon, doctors were able to get him up and out of the cage immediately.

Official Result: Chepe Mariscal def. Jack Jenkins via submission (injury) at 3:19 of Round 2.

It was an unfortunate turn of events for Jenkins who had come into the bout winning nine-straight, including an appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series and back-to-back wins against Don Shainis and Jamall Emmers. Jenkins fell to 12-3 in his mixed martial arts career while Mariscal moved to 15-6 whilst securing his second-straight win under the UFC banner.

Jarring at Adesanya throughout fight week ahead of their massive title showdown ‘Down Under’ – Strickland even went as far as accusing Adesanya of foul play and called for PETA to investigate footage of the City Kickboxing staple spitting food into his dog’s mouth, and touching him inappropriately.
