In the UFC 293 prelims, Jack Jenkins faced off against Chepe Mariscal in a featherweight bout. Unfortunately, the fight ended in a TKO stoppage due to a gruesome arm injury that Jenkins suffered during the second round of the fight.

As Jenkins attempted to defend a throw attempt by Mariscal, he incorrectly planted on his right arm, causing his weight and gravity to force his arm in a wrong-direction 90-degree angle. This rendered Jenkins unable to continue as he absorbed a Mariscal punch to the head, leading to the TKO stoppage at 3:19 of Round 2. Mariscal took the win by verbal submission, while Jenkins left UFC 293 with a loss and an arm injury.
