['Brendan Berger']

Quillan Salkilld continued his winning ways in the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday night, submitting Mateusz Gamrot in the first round of their lightweight main event in Las Vegas.
6 in the Meta UFC lightweight rankings prior to the contest, has fought against a who’s-who of lightweights that the promotion has had to offer.
Despite recent losses to veterans like Charles Oliveira and Dan Hooker, the 35-year-old has remained a viable option to test young lightweights against during their time in the division.
Surprising many, the finishing sequence came once Salkilld scored a double leg takedown, trapping Gamrot under suffocating back control, and cinching in the rear-naked choke submission.
