Zak Angelevski wasted no time at GrappleMania 19, securing a heel hook finish in just 11 seconds; the fastest submission in GrappleMania history.
From the opening exchange, Zak pulled the trigger immediately. A quick sit, textbook off balance entry into saddle, and immediate finish. His opponent had no chance to react. The crowd barely settled before it was over.
While Zak is proudly supported by Inversion Fightwear, this performance speaks entirely to his sharp timing and elite execution. GrappleMania 19 featured some of the country’s top talent, but no one moved with the precision and urgency that Zak brought to the mat.
This wasn’t just a win, it was a message.
