On October 26th, Quillan Salkilld will have his lightweight bout at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi. His opponent will be Afghan fighter Nasrat Haqparast.

Quillan Salkilld only received notification of his fight 10 days beforehand. Despite the tight preparation time, he still maintained sufficient weight to compete. The fight started off promisingly, with both fighters exchanging blows.

Haqparast attempted several leg attacks but couldn't overcome Salkilld's defensive capabilities. In contrast, the Australian fighter was incredibly cautious and precise. When the time was right, he unleashed his finishing move.

That was the moment Salkilld realized the opening and immediately unleashed a heavy, leaden kick to his opponent's head. Hit hard, Harparast had no chance to react. He instantly fainted and fell to the floor.

Without needing a count, the referee immediately awarded Quillan Salkilld a knockout victory in the first round of the fight. His powerful kick left the UFC commentators stunned.

Former boxing legend Daniel Cormier, who commented on the fight, exclaimed: "That was one of the craziest knockouts I've seen in a long time."

In addition to the prize money from his victory, Quillan Salkilld also pocketed an extra $50,000 (over 1.3 billion VND) for being voted "Best Fight" at UFC 321. This victory helped him maintain his undefeated record in the UFC since joining the world's number one MMA league earlier this year.
