For his second UFC assignment, former Bellator champ Patchy Mix welcomed KSW champion Jakub Wiklacz to the octagon at UFC 320.
Bantamweight Mix, a Bellator grand prix winner, had come up short in a listless fight against Mario Bautista in his own promotional debut.
Wizlacz opened the fight with a steady stream of kicks, particularly targeting the body. He stayed busy early, putting pressure on Mix and preventing him from settling in. However, after slipping on a kick, Mix capitalized and secured an easy scoop takedown. Wizlacz looked to sweep from bottom, but Mix maintained top control. Moments later, Wizlacz elevated Mix and scrambled back to his feet. Mix kept the aggression high, and Wizlacz responded by jumping on a guillotine attempt. Though he didn’t secure it, the scramble allowed him to mount Mix. Mix managed to work his back to the cage as the round closed.
In round two, Mix came forward behind steady pressure and straight punches, while Wizlacz continued to focus on bodywork— doubling up on body kicks and straight shots. Mix exploded into another takedown, and once again, Wizlacz threatened with a guillotine. He didn’t finish it but used the position to stand back up. Both fighters were visibly fatigued, but Wizlacz stayed active, landing short, nasty elbows on the inside. Mix answered with a sharp left hand that earned respect and followed it with another takedown, which led to yet another guillotine attempt from Wizlacz. The grappling exchanges were brief, with both men scrambling to their feet quickly. In the final minute, Wizlacz went back to the body kicks as they traded clean shots in the clinch.
Early in the final round, Mix timed a kick perfectly to shoot in for a takedown. Wizlacz once again looked for the guillotine, but it wasn’t close. Though he accepted being taken down, he refused to stay flat on bottom—constantly elevating Mix’s hips and creating space to move. Mix, however, was stronger from top position in the third, controlling more of the round and staying just active enough to maintain it. Wizlacz attempted one last scramble in the closing seconds, but Mix ended the fight on his back, finishing the round in control.
Official Result: Jakub Wiklacz def. Patchy Mix by split decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
