Quillan Salkilld Targets Benoit Saint-Denis for Next Fight After UFC Vegas 120 Win

Quillan Salkilld achieved the most significant victory of his career on Saturday night at UFC Vegas 120, held at the Apex. He faced Mateusz Gamrot in a highly anticipated lightweight bout.

Since his UFC debut last year, the 26-year-old Salkilld has been on a winning streak, securing five consecutive victories leading up to this fight. He surprised many by submitting Gamrot in the first round, demonstrating his grappling skills and ability to counter Gamrot's wrestling.

In the aftermath of his win, Salkilld indicated that he is interested in fighting Benoit Saint-Denis next, as suggested by former UFC fighter Dustin Poirier. Salkilld noted that he aims to move up in the rankings and sees Saint-Denis, who is currently ranked sixth, as a viable opponent despite coming off a loss.
