Quillan Salkilld had to overcome nerves before maiden UFC main event
Salkilld called out Gamrot after his win over Beneil Dariush. It was expected to be a challenging matchup, given the Polish 155-pounder’s wrestling credentials and durability. However, Salkilld shut down Gamrot’s offense before taking his counterpart’s back, locking in a rear-naked choke and forcing the tap in his first UFC main event.

The Australian recently detailed how nervous he was before the bout.
“I sh*t myself, yeah,” Salkilld said in a post-fight interview. “I was nervous… I tried to stay as calm as possible and I think I did a pretty good job actually of staying poised in there. I was just focusing on having fun.”
Salkilld called for a top-ranked opponent after beating Gamrot, but opted against naming names.
