Jakub Wiklacz

Overview

Both of Jakub Wiklacz's UFC wins went the distance, and one of them ended with 1 second left in the third round. The Polish bantamweight is 2-0 in the UFC and carries a two-fight win streak into his next bout. His professional record across all promotions is 18-3-2, so this is a veteran of the regional circuit still early in his UFC run.

UFC Career

Wiklacz debuted at UFC 320 against Patchy Mix and won a split decision, going all three rounds. A split call is not a comfortable way to open a UFC career, but it counts the same in the win column.

His second fight, at UFC Fight Night: Bautista vs Oliveira, was against Muin Gafurov. He won by submission in round 3 at 4:59. One second from the final bell.

Two fights is a small sample. Both wins arrived late, not early.

Fighting Style

Wiklacz is a submission hunter who gives up ground in other areas. He goes after finishes far more often than the typical UFC fighter, yet he rarely shoots for takedowns himself, so his submission attempts don't come from a wrestling-heavy approach.

The trade-off shows on defense. He gets hit more than most and gets taken down far more than most, which leaves him exposed whenever an opponent decides to wrestle. His own striking is middle of the pack, with output and accuracy around the UFC average.

His finishing pattern matches his style. Both UFC wins have come without a knockout, and the one finish was a submission in the third round, the other win going to the judges.
