Replay Confirms Wiklacz’s 4:59 Submission of Gafurov at UFC Vegas 113

The decision secured a $100,000 bonus for the Polish bantamweight plus a purse share from Gafurov’s five‑pound weight miss.

Overview

  • Referee Chris Tognoni consulted Nevada Athletic Commission replay to verify that Muin Gafurov tapped before the horn, finalizing the stoppage at 4:59 of Round 3.
  • Jakub Wiklacz locked a mounted guillotine after Gafurov shot a late takedown, drawing taps with one second remaining in the fight.
  • Gafurov came in five pounds over the bantamweight limit, the bout was held at a 141‑pound catchweight, and 25% of his purse was forfeited to Wiklacz.
  • UFC awarded Wiklacz a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus for the last‑second submission.
  • Gafurov and teammate Merab Dvalishvili attributed the tap to bell confusion, a claim contradicted by replay footage showing the tap occurred before the bell.
