Gamrot and Salkilld set to clash in UFC Fight Night 284 main event

Dan Tom provides an in-depth look at the UFC Fight Night 284 headliner, pitting 35-year-old Mateusz Gamrot against 26-year-old Quillan Salkilld. Gamrot, a former KSW champion training at American Top Team in Florida, brings a switch-stance, kickboxing-based style with strong jab work and a flawless 6-0 UFC Apex record. Salkilld, representing Lustro Combat Academy in Australia, relies on orthodox kickboxing, a jiu-jitsu black belt and notable knockout power.

The analyst notes the Apex’s compact octagon may favor grapplers, giving Gamrot an edge in wrestling while Salkilld’s reach and striking flow could pose challenges. Public betting lines have shifted to Salkilld at -154, yet Tom expects Gamrot’s pressure and grappling to secure a decision victory. The fight is scheduled for about 10:05 p.m. ET and will be streamed on Paramount+.
