Quillan Salkilld Updates on Knee Injury After UFC Vegas 120 Victory

Quillan Salkilld has provided an update on his knee injury sustained during his fight against Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Vegas 120. The Australian lightweight achieved a significant victory by submitting Gamrot in the first round, improving his UFC record to 6-0 and entering the top six of the lightweight division.

During the match, Salkilld felt a pop in his knee during a wrestling exchange, raising concerns about the injury. However, he later confirmed that scans revealed no serious damage, attributing the soreness to the initial wrestling exchange rather than the leg lock attempt by Gamrot.

Looking ahead, Salkilld expressed interest in facing Paddy Pimblett next, aiming for a high-profile fight in New York. Both fighters are coming off significant wins, making this matchup a potential title eliminator in the lightweight division.
