UFC Vegas 120 preview and predictions: Can Quillan Salkilld overcome Mateusz Gamrot?

UFC Vegas 120 could be the official rise of Quillan Salkilld if he overcomes perennial contender Mateusz Gamrot.

UFC Vegas 120 preview and predictions: Can Quillan Salkilld overcome Mateusz Gamrot?

UFC Vegas 120's lineup is a disappointing mix of debut headliners and outdated matchups, with only a few fights that offer genuine excitement. The main event features Australia's Quillan Salkilld taking on former KSW multi-weight champion Mateusz Gamrot, who may struggle to convince the UFC of his value in this high-profile bout.

Salkilld's resume is impressive but lacks significant wins against top-tier opponents, whereas Gamrot is considered one of the most complete 155-pounders in the UFC, with precise grappling and striking. This matchup highlights Salkilld's potential as a contender, but it's premature to label him as one based on a single fight. Other co-main events, such as Darren Elkins vs. Yadier del Valle and Carlos Diego Ferreira vs. Billy Quarantillo, are similarly problematic, with both fighters having questionable justifications for their matchups and the latter being a significant underdog.
