Quillan Salkilld is a 26-year-old Australian who has torn through the lightweight division since debuting in early 2025. He is unbeaten in the UFC, and his last three wins - a head-kick KO of Nasrat Haqparast, a first-round submission of Jamie Mullarkey and a first-round knockout of former title challenger Beneil Dariush - all ended inside one round. He mixes real knockout power with a sneaky-good grappling game, averaging more than seven takedowns per 15 minutes. This main event is his first crack at a ranked, elite-level opponent and a chance to jump straight into the top 10.
