On October 26, Quillan Salkilld had a lightweight match at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi. His opponent was Afghan fighter Nasrat Haqparast.

Quillan Salkilld had only been given 10 days’ notice of his fight. Despite the short preparation time, he made sure he was at the right weight to compete. The fight started off with some excitement, with the two fighters trading blows.

Haqparast attempted several leg strikes but could not overcome Salkilld's defense. The Australian, on the other hand, was extremely cautious and precise. When the moment was right, he immediately launched a move to finish his opponent.

That was the situation where Salkilld realized an opening and immediately launched a leaden kick at his opponent's head. Harparast did not react to the fatal blow. He "fainted" immediately and fell to the floor.

Without counting, the referee immediately awarded Quillan Salkilld a knockout victory in the first round of the match. The kick was so good that it stunned the UFC commentators.

Former legendary boxer Daniel Cormier commented on this match and exclaimed: "That was one of the craziest knockouts I've seen in a long time."

In addition to the prize money from the victory, Quillan Salkilld also "pocketed" an additional 50,000 USD (more than 1.3 billion VND) when he was voted for the title of "Best Match" at UFC 321. This victory helped him maintain his winning record in UFC, since joining the world's number 1 MMA arena earlier this year.
