By The Numbers: Bubba Jenkins vs. Jesus Pinedo


Life-altering money in Professional Fighters League has thus far eluded Bubba Jenkins.

The two-time NCAA All-American wrestler will toe the line against Jesus Pinedo when their featherweight semifinal headlines PFL 7 on Friday inside the Boeing Center at Tech Point in San Antonio. The winner advances to meet either Gabriel Braga or Chris Wade in the $1 million tournament final. Jenkins steps up to the plate for his latest test on the strength of back-to-back victories. He last appeared on June 8, when he put Sung Bin Jo to sleep with a first-round rear-naked choke. Pinedo, meanwhile, has won five of his past six bouts. He last competed at PFL 4, where he wiped out the heavily favored Brendan Loughnane with a first-round knee strike and follow-up punches.

As Jenkins and Pinedo make final preparations for their forthcoming clash at 145 pounds, a look at some of the numbers that have accompanied them to this point:

35: Years of age for Jenkins, who was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on Feb. 5, 1988.

3: Fighters other than Jenkins who have captured the Brave Combat Federation featherweight crown. Elias Boudegzdame, Roman Bogatov and Nemat Abdrashitov round out the exclusive club. Jenkins laid claim to the championship on Sept. 21, 2018 and made one successful title defense before signing with the PFL.

75: Seconds needed for Pinedo to punch out Elicardo Pinheiro at an Arena Global show on Feb. 12, 2021. More than two years later, it remains his fastest finish to date.
