At UFC 312, Jack Jenkins encountered Gabriel Santos. This is the competition to end the starting round, then switch to the main matches (Main Card). Jenkins, who was playing in the Featherweight weight class, started quite well against the opponent, but he finally received a failure.
The advantage of battle was given by Gabriel Santos thoroughly when the match lasted. By the end of the third half, he brought Jenkins to the floor and could do the Rear-Naked situation. This is also the beginning of Jenkins's dark night, both in terms of career and personal health.
According to UFC regulations, the boxers at the event were taken to the Hospital of Medical Inspection. Jenkins's lesions were originally considered not serious. But just a few minutes after Jenkins was discharged from the hospital, the medical team discovered that he turned out to get a much worse injury.
Initially, the doctors ignored the strange trace from Jenkins's throat. After reviewing, they discovered that his pharynx was seriously hurt. This caused Jenkins to be hospitalized again. He was immediately taken to the emergency room, spent 2 days there before being discharged from the hospital.
The team of Jenkins believes that his injury does not necessarily come from the Santos lock in the third half. Jenkins may have been injured from the end of the first half.
