The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to the Meta Apex in Las Vegas following a historic card in Serbia. The twelve-fight lineup features a crucial lightweight clash at the top of the card between veteran contender Mateusz Gamrot and fast-rising contender Quillan Salkilld. All fighters on the card successfully made weight during the official weigh-ins, except women’s strawweight competitor Amanda Lemos, who required three attempts to make the 115.5-pound limit for her bout against Alexia Thainara.
Lightweight Main Event Spotlights Gamrot and Salkilld
Entering the Octagon ranked No. 8 at lightweight, Gamrot brings a record of 26-4 with 1 no-contest to his latest main event assignment. The American Top Team product most recently rebounded from a defeat against Charles Oliveira by submitting Esteban Ribovics, supplementing a run that includes victories over Ludovit Klein, Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev. Standing across from him is Australia’s Salkilld, who enters ranked No. 12 at just 26 years old in his first UFC main event appearance.
Salkilld carries a 12-1 professional record into the bout, building momentum off the biggest win of his career—a first-round knockout against Beneil Dariush. Unbeaten through five fights inside the Octagon, Salkilld also holds victories over Jamie Mullarkey and Nasrat Haqparast. Both fighters stepped on the scale at exactly 155.5 pounds, clearing all regulatory hurdles for the five-round showdown under Nevada’s one-pound allowance rule for non-title fights.
