His most recent appearance came at UFC 312 against Australia\u2019s Quillan Salkilld, who knocked him out in the first round. However, many fans believe the stoppage was premature. Jubli was not completely out after being dropped. He was also working his way into a better position and could have definitely continued fighting if the ref did not have to step in and stop the bout.<\/p>\n<p>SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA \u2013 FEBRUARY 09: Quillan Sakllid of Australia celebrates his victory over Anshul Jubli of India in their Lightweight Bout during UFC 312 at Qudos Bank Arena on February 09, 2025 in Sydney, Australia.
