Stuns Arjan Bhullar with omoplata Saturday
Wieczorek defeat Arjan Bhullar via submission (omoplata) at 1:59 of Round 2 at UFC on FOX 29 on Saturday in Glendale, Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Prior to Saturday, the last omoplata submission in UFC action came from Ben Saunders in August 2014. Wieczorek needed to dig deep into his back of tricks because he was getting walloped prior to the stoppage. He had no answer for the aggressiveness of the bigger, stronger Bhullar. Everything Wieczorek does inside the octagon looks awkward and slow. He is a poor striker and he doesn't move well, but he has the length (6-foot-5) to clamp on submission attempts from all sorts of odd angles. It's rarely pretty, but Wieczorek is now riding a nine-fight winning streak. The upset victory in unique fashion also earned him a $50,000 Performance of the night bonus.
