UFC 320: Jakub Wiklacz Wanted to Submit Mix with His Own Weapon

"I'm happy that I won, but I made some mistakes I'm not happy about,"

"To be honest, after the fight I was just angry at the third round, but after these two rounds, I was confident I won the two rounds because I tried submissions, I was striking well, I got him on the body and the head. I was happy about these two rounds."

"I'm just a guy like, if I see that someone has a good gilly, good grappling, I want to submit him with his own weapons. So that was my mistake,"

"He had a great escape, and it was almost impossible to submit him with that gilly. That last gilly was really close, I lost some power on that and the round would have been better if I didn't jump the gilly, but that's just me."

Jakub Wiklacz edged Patchy Mix by split decision at UFC 320, improving his record to 17-3-2. Wiklacz felt confident he won the first two rounds through striking, body and head shots, and submission attempts, but he expressed frustration with his third-round performance. He attempted a Poirier-style jump guillotine out of confidence and acknowledged that jumping the guillotine was a mistake. Patchy Mix escaped the submission and neutralized the threat, and Wiklacz said he lost power during the attempt, which contributed to the closer final round and a controversial outcome.
