Don’t let the Jack Jenkins vs. Herbert Burns UFC 305 preliminary fight fly under your radar, especially if you’re an MMA bettor. Why? Because the Jenkins vs. Burns odds are very lucrative if you’re gonna back the underdog. To learn why you should (or should not) do it, just keep on reading this betting preview.
Before Betting on Jack Jenkins vs. Herbert Burns
Jack Jenkins is 12-3 overall who was on a 10-win run before losing to Jose Marsical almost exactly one year ago. The mustachioed Aussie with a mullet lost that fight by technical knockout after hurting his arm. That’s actually why he’s been out of action for more than 11 months.
But he’s coming back on August 17 (local time) to fight Gilbert Burns’s brother Herbert. And he’s a huge favorite to beat the Brazilian.
The main reason for that is that Burns, who is 11-5 overall, is coming to Australia after three straight losses. The worst thing is that each of those happened by a TKO.
Obviously, he’s not a very good boxer. Instead, same as his brother, he’s a fantastic grappler. The evidence of this is that 72.72% of his wins happened by submission.

This is a striker vs. grappler battle. Jenkins is way superior to Burns when it comes to boxing, which is why UFC 305 odds are leaning heavily in his favor. However, given his arm injury and the fact that the Brazilian has probably spent the last couple of months working on his boxing skills, we might see a surprise.
