Quinlan Salkilld showed why he is considered one of the most dangerous prospects in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg). The young fighter faced Beneil Dariush at UFC Perth and, while Renato Moicano struggled and ended up losing to the veteran, the Australian sensation withstood the initial pressure and gave the American no chance on his first strike opportunity.

'Adesanya's buddy' proves to be well-rounded, surprises rival at UFC Perth and challenges Italian star.

With the victory, Salkilld reached 12 career wins, his fourth in the UFC. Dariush, on the other hand, is experiencing the worst phase of his career, with only one win in his last five fights.

Salkilld overcomes his initial shock and resolves the fight with a brutal sequence.

Quinlan started the duel with a high kick that missed. More experienced, Dariush closed the distance and connected with a powerful left hand, which made the Australian buckle.

With the young man disoriented, Beneil clung to the clinch and applied pressure, repeatedly taking the fight to the ground.

After managing to break free, Salkilld unleashed a barrage of punches that dropped Dariush, before finishing the fight with a powerful ground and pound.
