Prediction
In this featherweight bout, Jenkins' aggressive striking and well-rounded skill set will face off against Burns' elite submission game. Jenkins will look to use his striking and grappling defense to keep the fight standing and avoid Burns' dangerous submissions. On the other hand, Burns will aim to close the distance, utilize his grappling expertise, and work for a submission victory.
If Jenkins can maintain his distance and neutralize Burns' grappling attempts, his striking and overall versatility may give him the edge. Conversely, if Burns can effectively close the distance and utilize his submission skills, he could find success by tapping into Jenkins' vulnerabilities on the ground.
Prediction: Herbert Burns by Submission. Burns' superior grappling and submission skills are likely to give him the advantage if he can close the distance and take the fight to the ground, where he can exploit Jenkins' relative lack of submission defense experience.
