Champion: Quillan Salkilld

Former Eternal Lightweight Champion — Quillan Salkilld

In just under a year inside the UFC, Quillan Salkilld has earned two awards, two knockouts, and the respect of fight fans around the globe, an incredible rise from Australia’s regional circuit to the world’s biggest stage.

Fresh off a Knockout of the Year contender at UFC 321, Quillan has shaken up the MMA world, taking another massive step toward defining his legacy.

His journey began humbly, debuting with a loss in 2021. But true to his grit, Quillan bounced back immediately with a first-round rear-naked choke, the start of an undefeated streak that would lead him to championship gold.

Three straight finishes later, a mix of submissions and knockouts, proved his versatility and power. On June 10, 2023, in front of his hometown crowd in Perth, Australia, Quillan delivered a spectacular 42-second knockout over Blake Donnelly to capture the Eternal Lightweight Title.

His first title defence came in October that same year, where he showcased his endurance and fight IQ across five dominant rounds, nullifying American challenger Brett Pastore at every turn. Quillan followed it up with another emphatic defence submitting Dom Mar Fan via rear-naked choke in Round 2 of their rematch.

With six straight victories (five by finish) Quillan earned his shot on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2024. He rose to the occasion winning the fight decisively and securing a UFC contract. Dana White personally stepped into the Octagon to shake his hand, sealing the deal with a nod of approval.

That moment set the stage for his UFC debut at UFC 312 in 2025, where he announced himself to the world with a 19-second knockout, earning Performance of the Night honours. He followed it up in June with a dominant unanimous decision win, solidifying his place as one of Australia’s most exciting prospects.

Then came UFC 321 a short-notice fight on ten days’ notice against Nasrat Haqparast. Flying across the world, Quillan once again defied the odds, delivering a highlight-reel knockout that reminded the world exactly what made him an Eternal champion and why his story is only just beginning.
