Filmed in Perth outside Love Street Coffee, Quillan Salkilld sits down with Mitchell Tinley just over a week out from UFC 325 in Sydney.

Quillan talks about the buzz around being announced on the UFC 325 main card, the opponent change from Rongzhu to Jamie Mullarkey, and how he approaches camp when the matchup shifts mid-prep.

We also get into his coaching relationship with Rommel Wester, the gym culture in Perth, cross-training and working rounds with UFC fighter Tom Nolan, and how he handles fight week mentally by keeping it fun until it’s time to switch it on.

Quillan reflects on winning UFC Debut of the Year, the viral story around his family bakery, and he gives his UFC 325 prediction which is a late submission.
