UFC 325: Quillan Salkilld vs. Jamie Mullarkey: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision win for Salkilld against Mullarkey since his striking is better. They are both solid grapplers with top-level wrestling and jiu-jitsu skills, which is why I think they will cancel each other out in this aspect.
With the speed and footwork of Salkildd, I think he’ll be able to outstrike Mullarkey in most of the exchanges on the feet. If Mullarkey decides to make it a grappling match, Salkilld can successfully defend any takedown attempts and keep the fight standing.
A knockout finish isn’t expected for Salkilld, especially since Mullarkey is a veteran contender in the promotion and has showcased toughness and durability, but I won’t be surprised if he scores several knockdowns during the bout.
