Jenkins vs Shainis Prediction
This is somewhat of a "prove yourself" matchup between two hungry fighters. In one corner, you have Jack Jenkins; the heavy favorite. The Melbourne native is on a seven-fight winning streak (where he's finished five of his opponents), most recently landing a TKO victory over Freddy Emiliano Linares on .
Meanwhile, Don Shainis must prove that he can bounce back in enemy territory following his latest fight. The 31-year-old was embarrassed in his last outing, which happened to be his UFC debut, losing by submission to Sodiq Yusuff just 30 seconds into the fight.
With how easily he was dismantled by Yusuff, I don't like Shainis' fairing much better this weekend. Jenkins is on fire and that flame will only burn brighter with the Australian crowd backing the home country hero. He also has the strike defense advantage, only absorbing 1.17 significant strikes per minute with a 71% defense rate compared to Shainis (18.00 and 0%, respectively).
As long as Jenkins doesn't deviate from his game plan, he should taste victory in his UFC PPV debut.
Jenkins vs Shainis Best Bet
Unfortunately, the moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making a'Jenkins outright win at -370 odds'the best bet for now. Make sure to check back on FanDuel Sportsbook leading up to UFC 284 for more playable options.
