Bubba Jenkins talks PFL Playoffs, wrestling career, Cael Sanderson and more
Bubba Jenkins has found himself back in a great position.
Later this month on Aug. 20, Jenkins will make the journey from Las Vegas to London to compete in a featherweight semi-final at PFL Playoff 3 against Ryoji Kudo.
This marks the second straight playoff appearance for Jenkins as he made the playoffs last season, but fell to Chris Wade in the semi-finals. Wade also qualified for this years playoffs and will fight in the other semi-final on the same fight card as Jenkins.
