The main event of the UFC Vegas 120 card will be headlined by the showdown of ranked lightweight contenders Mateusz Gamrot and Quillan Salkilld, which goes down Saturday inside the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
Both are coming off wins in their previous bouts, but Salkilld heads into the match as the betting favorite with +125 UFC odds, mainly because he has the better pro record. Meanwhile, Gamrot is going to be the betting underdog with +125.

UFC Vegas 120: Gamrot vs. Salkilld: Prediction
My prediction is a submission win for Gamrot over Salkilld, as he’s the better grappler and submission artist. Gamrot is expected to use his solid Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling skills against Salkilld since he’s a stand-up fighter.
Salkilld is undoubtedly the better overall striker than Gamrot, which is why I think Gamrot will take him down and grind him out. This is also the first time Salkilld will face a grappler of Gamrot’s calibre, and I believe he’ll feel a different type of strength and technique.
Despite having the better record, Salkilld has also been defeated in his pro debut via submission. Additionally, Gamrot’s experience competing inside the octagon will also play a major role on fight night, since he has dealt with the type of fighter like Salkilld before.
