Quillan Salkilld brings a 13-fight winning streak into his
second UFC main event against Benoit St. Denis

Salkilld lost his professional debut in 2021 and has since won 13
consecutive fights. He earned a contract on
Dana White’s Contender Series in 2024 and has gone 6-0 in the
UFC, with five first-round finishes.

Salkilld is coming off victories over Beneil
Dariush and Mateusz
Gamrot. Saint Denis, meanwhile, will look to rebound from a
first-round submission loss to Paddy
Pimblett. The Frenchman had won four consecutive fights by
stoppage before Pimblett submitted him in 52 seconds at
UFC 329 in July.

Saint Denis is 9-4 in the UFC. “God of War” made his promotional
debut in October 2021, eight months after Salkilld’s first
professional fight.
