Jenkins signs multi-fight deal with Brave

One year after his last MMA fight - and days after an interview where he spoke his mind about Penn State, his former college home -- Bubba Jenkins has made news yet again.

Jenkins has signed a multi-fight contract with Brave Combat Federation, promotion officials told MMA Fighting.

Brave has yet to announce a date and opponent for Jenkins' debut with that organization.

Jenkins announced plans to enter MMA immediately after winning the 157-pound title as an Arizona State wrestler at the 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, having pinned his former Penn State teammate David Taylor in the finals. About a year-and-a-half after making his pro MMA debut, Jenkins signed with Bellator ... compiling an 8-3 record with that promotion. However, Bellator dropped the former college wrestler in February 2017. Jenkins' last pro MMA bout was in September 2017. He has an overall record of 12-4.

Just last week, Jenkins made headlines with a lengthy interview with MyMMAnews.com, where he unloaded on Cael Sanderson, his head coach at Penn State, and on former teammate Frank Molinaro.
