    VIDEO: Jakub Wiklacz Wins With Last-Second Guillotine

    There haven’t been many finishes in the UFC to come at the very last second, but Jakub Wiklacz has secured himself a place in the books as one of those.

    After a little discussion and controversy, Wiklacz officially scored a literal last-second submission victory over Muin Gafurov during the UFC Vegas 113 prelims.

    Both fighters had moments in the opening round. Wiklacz seemed to have the better strikes, Gafurov also demonstrated strong control with his grappling and clinch work. Wiklacz, however, came back strong in the second round, dominating on the mat and looking for multiple submissions.

    Gafurov surged strong in the third round, but the moment of the fight came in the final 30 seconds. Gafurov went for one last takedown, only to get caught by Wiklacz, who managed to secure a guillotine choke. Gafurov appeared to tap out at the last second; however, the ruling was not called for a few minutes, leading to plenty of confusion in the Octagon as officials looked on.

    Referee Chris Tognoni then informed both men the fight will end in a submission victory for Wiklacz.

    Wiklacz, the former KSW bantamweight champion, is now 2-0 in the UFC. He made his Octagon debut at UFC 320, taking a split decision win over former Bellator champion Patchy Mix.

    Gafurov, who missed weight by five pounds for this fight, falls to 2-3 in his Octagon tenure. He came into this bout off a decision win over Rinya Nakamura at UFC 311 last year.

    Patchy Mix Addresses Controversial Loss To Debutant Jakub Wiklacz At UFC 320 – ‘Can’t Win Split Decisions And Be Happy’

    Patchy Mix handled his recent setback with composure.

    Mix squared off against former KSW champion and promotional newcomer Jakub Wiklacz on the UFC 320 preliminary card, held Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    Although, the former Bellator bantamweight champion found early success with his wrestling, timing takedowns off kicks and controlling portions of the fight on the mat. His grappling transitions were sharp, but Wiklacz’s constant movement and submission attempts kept Mix from settling into a rhythm.

    As the bout wore on, fatigue became a factor, and “No Love” struggled to impose his will against Wiklacz’s relentless pressure and punishing bodywork. Though Mix closed strong with top control in the final round, the judges ultimately favored his opponent’s overall activity and striking volume, awarding him a razor-thin split decision win with scores of 29-28, 29-28, and 28-29.

    Patchy Mix Reflects On UFC 320 Loss To Jakub Wiklacz

    After dropping a controversial split decision setback to Jakub Wiklacz at UFC 320, Patchy Mix took to social media on Saturday to address the outcome. In a brief video message, “No Love” showed humility and acknowledged the loss even though many fans felt he had done enough to win.

    “Walking home from the arena, man, it just hits you, you know?,” Mix said. “Just got to keep it in perspective. Can’t win split decisions and be happy when I win them and then when I lose them, I can’t be upset, either. Much respect to my opponent and his team, and just got to get back to the drawing board, get better.”

    Back in June, Patchy Mix made his much-anticipated Octagon debut against Mario Bautista at UFC 316, but the night didn’t go his way as he dropped a one-sided unanimous decision. Now facing consecutive setbacks in the UFC, the 32-year-old New Yorker stands at 20-3 in his professional career, with 15 of those victories coming by way of finish.

    Patchy Mix’s UFC run thus far has continued to be a disappointment, as he came up just short on the scorecards against the debuting Jakub Wiklacz during the UFC 320 preliminary card.

    Wiklacz started strong, controlling the first round with his grappling and top pressure. The second round proved to be the most competitive, as Mix rallied with his own pressure and clinch work. Wiklacz, however, focused on body shots to score in his own way.

    Mix used his wrestling in the third round to control the action and land strong ground strikes. It wasn’t enough, however, as two of the three judges gave the fight to Wiklacz.

    The UFC 320 lineup is starting to fall into place.

    On Thursday, the promotion announced that Patchy Mix will make his return at UFC 320, where he’s set to welcome reigning KSW bantamweight champion Jakub Wikłacz for his Octagon debut.

    Mix made his promotional debut at UFC 316 in June, but the night didn’t go his way as he suffered a lopsided unanimous decision loss to rising contender Mario Bautista. Before that setback, “No Love” was riding a seven-fight winning streak in Bellator, where he reigned as bantamweight champion.

    The 31-year-old American boasts a professional record of 20-2, with 13 of those victories coming by submission.

    Meanwhile, Wikłacz last competed at KSW 95 in June 2024, where he successfully defended his bantamweight crown with a second-round submission of Sebastian Przybysz. “Masa” is riding a seven-fight unbeaten streak and carries a professional record of 16-3-2, with 10 of those victories coming via submission.
