UFC Lightweight Quillan Salkilld Explains How He Became Meme Fodder

Quillan Salkilld has been flooded with memes due to the nationality of the opponents he has defeated inside the Octagon.

Salkilld recently revealed that his comments section has become something of an Indo-Pak warzone for fans. It started with the Australian lightweight’s Ultimate Fighting Championship debut in February, when he flattened Anshul Jubli, the only active Indian male fighter on the promotion’s roster, in just 19 seconds. Salkilld has since been called “Pakistan’s Greatest Warrior,” owing to the nation’s age-old rivalry with India. However, it did not stop there. Salkilld earned nicknames like “Minority Killer” by beating the only active Israeli UFC fighter, Yanal Ashmouz, in his sophomore outing with the company.
