Wiklacz's Hail Mary: Last-Second Tap Secures Shock Win
8 Feb
Summary
- Jakub Wiklacz secured a submission victory with one second remaining.
- Muin Gafurov missed weight, resulting in Wiklacz receiving a purse share.
- The win came via a guillotine choke after an attempted takedown.

Jakub Wiklacz achieved a stunning submission victory against Muin Gafurov during UFC Fight Night 266. With mere seconds remaining in their bout at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, Wiklacz executed a guillotine choke after Gafurov's ill-advised takedown attempt. The submission forced Gafurov to tap just before the final horn.
This dramatic finish secured Wiklacz a win and significant financial bonuses. Furthermore, Gafurov's failure to make weight for the bantamweight bout meant Wiklacz is entitled to 20 percent of his opponent's purse. The fight's outcome was confirmed after a review by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
