For a moment, Aussie fighter Jack Jenkins thought he wasn't going to be offered a UFC contract, despite a crushing victory - but worry quickly turned to joy.
The Victorian was made to sweat a little bit by UFC boss Dana White, who announces at the end of the program which winners are going to receive contracts for the sport's top promotion."My thing with Jack Jenkins tonight he looked like a one-trick pony. He kept going to the ground, he absolutely dominated, but the boys are telling me he's actually a great kickboxer - I didn't see any of that tonight," White said.
"Jimmy Crute thinks he's going to be a world champion, I saw him post that - he's on a seven-fight win streak, he did get the finish tonight, it's the last show of the year, on a night where I may not have taken him, I'm definitely taking him tonight - show me some kickboxing!""I was pretty nervous when I went out the back - I agreed with Dana's criticisms completely, it was a little bit of a one-trick night tonight, I think maybe the moment got the better...
"I did what I needed to do to get the start and now I'm really going to ramp it up, and start to show everybody what I can do." For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by
