Jack Jenkins has yielded a positive health update in the aftermath of his scary UFC 312 loss
The favorite of the Aussie fan started last weekend a strong start of his provisional fight with Gabriel Santos in Brazil in Sydney.
The fight seemed to go his way after he had dropped Santos in the first round, but the tide began to turn in the round two, and Jack Jenkins finally dropped in a third round choke loss on UFC 312.
After the fight it was reported that Jenkins was in intensive care after his second UFC defeat.

Jack Jenkins breaks silence after UFC 312
After his post-fighting agents, Jenkins was fired to think about a bad night in the office.
However, there was still an adversity waiting around the corner. Australian MMA on Instagram reported that Team Jenkins was later informed that he would need further medical help after an important piece of information was missed from his scan.
The 31-year-old reportedly suffered an injury in the first round of the fight with broken cartilage in his thyroid cartilage that led to an air leak.
Jenkins told his corner at the end of the first five minutes of the game that he could not feel his left arm, which had significantly influenced the rest of the fight.
After having spent some time under supervision of intensive care, the featherweight hunter was released from the hospital on Monday – and now he has issued a short explanation to give fans an update after his scary test.
“I am now out of the hospital at home and will fully recover. Thank you for all the messages, “Jenkins wrote on his Instagram story on Tuesday.
He added: “When I started, I thought my career could be like Black Caviar, but now I think it will look more like God in the 05 Guineas. Difficult.”
What is the next step for Jack Jenkins?
It is currently unclear how much time Jenkins needs to recover from the injury he sustained at UFC 312.
One thing is certain, when it is suitable for fighting again that scrap will happen in the UFC -Tachthoek.
Since he came to MMA's most important promotion, Jenkins has made a big impression by gaining three victories.
The most striking is that he defeated Herbert Burns so much that fans called Dana White to cut him out of the selection after UFC 305.
An arm injury led to his first UFC loss against Chepe Mariscal – but Santos is the first man who really beats Jenkins in the Octagon, so he will certainly get a chance to impress after some time to heal after UFC 312.
