Jakub Wiklacz Edges Patchy Mix by Split Decision at UFC 320

The split ruling triggered debate over control versus damage after a grappling-heavy bout.

Overview

  • Wiklacz earned a 2–1 split decision, with two judges scoring it 29-28 for him and one 29-28 for Mix on the UFC 320 preliminary card.
  • The fight played out mostly on the mat, where Mix controlled from top but produced limited offense as Wiklacz hunted sweeps and submissions.
  • Visible swelling over Mix’s right eye highlighted the damage as the bout’s grappling exchanges failed to yield near-finishes for either fighter.
  • Reactions were sharply divided, with Daniel Cormier and Vince Morales saying Mix deserved the nod while Terrance McKinney called it a fair decision.
  • The result marked Wiklacz’s successful UFC debut after a KSW title run, and it dropped former Bellator champion Mix to 0-2 in the UFC following his loss to Mario Bautista at UFC 316.
