Quillan Salkilld sent a message to the rest of the lightweight division on Saturday night with a first-round finish of Mateusz Gamrot — but it wasn’t just the fact that he got the quick stoppage, it was how Salkilld did it against one of the division’s best grapplers. Following the win, Salkilld called for a top-five fighter. But will he get it next?
Following UFC Vegas 120, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee react to the card, Salkilld’s impressive submission win over Gamrot, the realistic options in front of him, and what would’ve happened had Salkilld called out PFL champ and newest free agent Usman Nurmagomedov. Additionally, they discuss Diego Ferreira’s co-main event win over Billy Quarantillo, Alexia Thainara continuing her rise up the strawweight ranks with a win over Amanda Lemos, the updated main card for next weekend’s UFC 330 event, and much more.
