Jack Jenkins has withdrawn from his scheduled featherweight bout against undefeated prospect Marwan Rahiki at UFC Perth.
The matchup was booked for May 2, 2026, at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, but Australian MMA reported that Jenkins has been forced out of the contest. It is unclear if Rahiki will remain on the UFC Perth card.
Rahiki enters this situation with an 8-0 record and is coming off a UFC debut win over Harry Hardwick that earned a "Fight of the Night" bonus. Before his debut, he secured his UFC contract on Contender Series with a victory over Ananias Mulumba.
Australian MMA has listed Marcio Barbosa, Javier Reyes, and George Mangos as potential replacement opponents for Rahiki. Barbosa recently knocked out Dennis Buzukja in the first round at UFC Winnipeg, Reyes scored a first-round knockout of Douglas Silva de Andrade earlier in the year, and Mangos is slated for Road to UFC Season 5 after previously knocking out Justin Van Heerden in Eternal MMA.
Jenkins exits the bout with a 14-4 professional record and a 4-2 mark inside the Octagon. He previously fought in Perth in September 2025, earning a unanimous decision win over Ramon Taveras after a submission loss to Gabriel Santos in his prior outing.
