The Contender Series alum delivered by securing a first-round submission finish via rear-naked choke. The 26-year-old is on a fast track towards top five competition, as Gamrot was the No. 6-ranked lightweight on the Meta rankings panel entering the bout.<\/p>\n<p>While Salkilld has raised his stock significantly, he\u2019ll be hoping to avoid time on the shelf amid a possible injury. Salkilld appeared on the UFC Vegas 120 post-show on Paramount+, and he recalled the moment he might\u2019ve been injured (via MMAFighting).<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere was a wrestling exchange at the start where he grabbed my ankle,\u201d Salkilld said. \u201cIf it was training, I would have kind of gone with it to not hurt the knee. He had my ankle and it turned to like 90 degrees. Because I was being stubborn in that position, I didn\u2019t want to accept any bad position. I turned into it and forced it. Usually I didn\u2019t want to do that because I\u2019m always scared about hurting my knee in training.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis one, I just went into it and heard a little pop. Even when I had that rear-naked choke, I actually felt it. I was like f*ck, if I don\u2019t get this, my knee\u2019s going to be sore later. In round two or three, it would have been [sore]. It\u2019s a bit sore now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Salkilld has been perfect ever since suffering a submission loss in his first pro MMA bout in early 2021. In addition to his 13-fight winning streak, Salkilld has finished his last four fights in the opening round. That includes a nasty head kick knockout over Nasrat Haqparast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If Quillan Salkilld can avoid being sidelined, who should he fight next?
