Quillan Salkilld says his first main event in the Ultimate Fighting Championship fulfills a vision he has held since the beginning of his professional career.
Salkilld will headline UFC Vegas 120 against Mateusz Gamrot at Meta Apex in Las Vegas on Aug. 8.
Since earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, Salkilld (12-1) has gone 5-0 in the UFC, recording four first-round finishes. A win over Gamrot (26-4) would firmly place him in the top tier of the division. He recently described headlining his first UFC event as a dream come true.

“I’m good at just enjoying the process,” he added.
