UFC 312: WA fighter Quillan Salkilld scores 19-second knockout victory over Anshul Jubli

Broome product Quillan Salkilld has made an incredible first impression in the UFC, scoring an amazing 19-second knockout on debut in Sydney on Sunday morning.

Before most of his home state of WA awoke, Salkilld (8-1) sent the mixed martial arts world into a spin when he landed a one-punch win over Indian Anshul Jubli (7-2) in the opening bout of UFC 312 at Qudos Bank Arena.

Salkilld set up Jubli with a jab to the body before landing a massive right hook to his ear, which sent the 30-year-old lightweight to the mat and ended the bout.

“I have no words for it. The perfect ending to my debut in Sydney,” Salkilld said

“I knew he leads with his lead hand, his lead hand is always away from his face.

“Dream come true. The only thing that would make it better is an extra $50,000 in the bank for a one-punch knockout.”

The incredible win is the second fastest KO by a lightweight debutant in UFC history.

It continues an incredible ride for Salkilld, who earned a UFC contract in September when he defeated Gauge Young by unanimous decision as part of Dana White’s Contender Series.

A former EMMA Lightweight Champion, Salkilld is on an eight-fight win streak — having not lost since his professional debut — and will likely now look for another fight in 2025.

Fellow West *********** Cody Haddon was also set to be on the card in Sydney, but was forced to withdraw late after he broke his foot while sparring in preparation.
