UFC Vegas 120 post-fight show: Reaction to Quillan Salkilld’s eye-opening destruction of Mateusz Gamrot
UFC’s return to the APEX is officially in the books
In Las Vegas on August 8, 2026, Quillan Salkilld of Australia stunned the lightweight division with a first-round submission victory over Mateusz Gamrot of Poland during UFC Vegas 120. The fight was notable not just for its swift finish, but for the manner in which Salkilld executed it against one of the division's most skilled grapplers.
Following the victory, Salkilld confidently called for a top-five fighter to take on next. As MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee reacted to the card, they discussed the realistic options available to Salkilld, what could have transpired if he had instead challenged PFL champion and newly signed fighter Usman Nurmagomedov, and much more.
Highlights included Diego Ferreira's co-main event win over Billy Quarantillo, Alexia Thainara's rising status in the strawweight division with a win over Amanda Lemos, and the updated main card for the upcoming UFC 330 event.
