UFC Vegas 120 has come and gone. While it wasn't a stacked card from top to bottom, it produced one of the year's most impressive performances.
Quillan Salkilld came into Saturday night as one of the brighter prospects at 155 and in the UFC in general. After a dominant win over the experienced Mateusz Gamrot, expectations are soaring for how good the Australian fighter can be.

Salkilld secured the victory via first-round submission. This was one-way traffic for as long as it lasted. Salkilld caught Gamrot on the feet early with a left hook and then dominated on the ground before finding Gamrot's neck for the choke.
This was a big jump in competition. Before Saturday night, Salkilld's biggest win was against an aging Beneil Dariush, who is 1-4 in his last five fights and 37 years old. Gamrot isn't a spring chicken by any means at 35, but he was at least coming off a win against a tough Esteban Ribovics.
