Wiklacz Submitted Gafurov With One Second Remaining
Jakub Wiklacz submitted Muin Gafurov with a guillotine choke at 4:59 of round three on February 7, 2026, at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The extraordinary finish came just before the final horn and required confirmation of the timing.
The matchup and opening exchanges
The former KSW champion faced a former LFA titleholder with experience in ONE Championship. Gafurov weighed 141 pounds, while Wiklacz made 135.5, leaving the scheduled bantamweight pairing contested after a significant weight miss.
Gafurov’s kicks and a trip featured in the first round, with Wiklacz recovering his feet. A late volley from Gafurov completed a round in which both men had opportunities to establish their preferred range.
How the contest developed
The second included a scramble following a jumping kick. Wiklacz gained top position, moved through side control and mount, and threatened a rear-naked choke from the back without securing the submission.
Gafurov had success standing in the third while Wiklacz appeared fatigued. A late takedown attempt nevertheless created the opening that changed the result: Wiklacz caught the neck and established a mounted guillotine.
The official outcome
Gafurov tapped at the edge of the allotted time, and the finish was confirmed at 4:59. Wiklacz therefore earned a submission victory rather than awaiting scorecards, recording his second UFC win and his first finish inside the promotion.
