It doesn’t get much better than earning a 19-second knockout in your UFC debut in front of your home country fans.
That was the case for Perth’s Quillan Salkilld, who made his debut earlier this year at UFC 312 in Sydney, knocking out Anshul Jubli in 19 seconds. It was a picture-perfectmoment for the lightweight prospect.
“It was really special,” Salkilld said. “Being at home pretty much and on a big UFC pay-per-view event, it was wicked, and how it all played out it was a fairytale ending. It couldn't have gone any more perfect.”
