Quillan Salkilld's UFC 325 Opponent Changed: A Home Game for the Rising Star
January 10, 2026
The UFC has announced a change in the lineup for UFC 325, set to take place on January 31, 2026, at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. One of the most anticipated fights of the night will now feature rising lightweight star Quillan Salkilld against fellow Australian Jamie Mullarkey.
Salkilld, who had a stellar 2025, is a force to be reckoned with. His first UFC fight of the year was a 61-second knockout of Anshul Jubli, followed by a unanimous decision victory over Yanal Ashmouz. But it was his October performance that truly made waves: a violent head kick knockout of Nasrat Haqparast. With a 10-1 MMA record and 3-0 in the UFC, Salkilld is undoubtedly a breakout star.
Jamie Mullarkey, a seasoned veteran with an 18-8 MMA record and 6-6 in the UFC, is no stranger to playing the spoiler. He aims to disrupt Salkilld's momentum, a role he has successfully filled in the past. This fight promises an exciting clash between a rising star and a seasoned fighter.
The rest of the UFC 325 lineup includes top-tier matchups such as Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes, Dan Hooker vs. Benoit Saint-Denis, and many more. With these changes, the event is shaping up to be a thrilling night of action-packed fights.
