Briefing

Gregory Rodrigues is the model’s side at 71% because of striking skill (distance & pocket), with Jack Jenkins live if the fight is forced into volume kickboxer.

Jack Jenkins (volume kickboxer, muay thai) against Gregory Rodrigues (power puncher, pressure boxer, opportunistic) is a UFC featherweight matchup in —. The independent model puts Rodrigues around 71% — a medium confidence number, not a betting line. The largest factor from 50/50 is striking skill (distance & pocket): Jenkins striking rating 1424 vs Rodrigues 1740. Weighted by estimated standing time (78%).

Where this is fought matters. Estimated grappling share is 22%. Jenkins lands 4.7 significant strikes per minute at 45% accuracy with a 1.3 takedown average; Rodrigues is at 5.2 / 51% / 1.6. Takedown defense sits at 64% versus 61%. Reach is 70" against 75" — counted only if the longer fighter actually lives at range.

Jenkins's primary path: Keep this at kicking range for the first 6–8 minutes. Jenkins's length and volume only matter if Rodrigues cannot crash the pocket. Failure mode: The chin has been a problem. One pocket exchange can end the math. Rodrigues's primary path: One clean counter or lead hook as Jenkins enters. Power is the shortcut; it is not a plan by itself. Failure mode: Getting drawn into Jenkins's preferred range and losing the minute-winning.

The swing variable is simple: First fighter to be dropped. Power is asymmetric here; the model’s decision lean dies if someone gets hurt early. The model does not start from a sportsbook. If DraftKings or Fanatics disagree, that disagreement is the point of the page.
