“That felt like watching a murder” – Jamahal Hill, Dillon Danis and MMA world react to Quillan Salkilld’s savage KO of Nasrat Haqparast

Earlier tonight, to cap off the UFC 321 prelims, Quillan Salkilld secured a Round 1 terrifying head kick knockout victory against Nasrat Haqparast. This win has elicited reactions from various members in the MMA community.

Salkilld took the bout on ten days’ notice, but it had little bearing on how well he performed in the octagon. From the opening bell, both fighters traded blows. Salkilld made multiple attempts to take his opponent down but failed.

Later in the round, to turn the tide in his favor, he loaded his leg and, with sniper accuracy, unleashed a powerful kick to the temple that faceplanted Haqparast on the canvas. The latter remained unconscious for several minutes after being knocked out cold.
