Jenkins recounted a story in the video where he tells how a fan’s advice once helped him beat an opponent. He further talked about a certain fan called Ben Paige, who once texted him. Jenkin also said that the fan wanted to inform him about the weak points of the opponent he was going to fight next.

Jenkins said, “I had a message from this kid and his name was Ben Paige. He says, hey mate, I have watched every fight of the guy you are fighting. Two things, your leg kicks work, and I went on this Peruvian website and I found out a photo of him. And his eye got cut open in a fight and he sends me this photo that he has googled.”

Jack Jenkins further revealed how he remembered the fan’s advice when he actually got into the fight and used the advice in the fight. He then added, “He has gone deep into South American media to find the guy I fought. His eye was split right open, and that’s the only fight that guy had lost. That’s when his eye was split open. I am like, thanks bro, that’s as good as I thought. If I hit this eye, it’s gonna bust up. I am thinking of Ben Paige, and I hit him and it splits open. He was right.”
