Quillan Salkilld scored the most frightening head kick knockout of 2025 with Halloween just around the corner.
In Saturday’s featured preliminary bout at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi, Salkilld blasted Nasrat Haqparast with a high kick that left the veteran lightweight face-down on the canvas.
Watch the unreal KO below.
Haqparast’s leg was visibly twitching following his fall and he remained unconscious
on the canvas for several minutes after the finish with his team and medics attending to him. Fortunately, he was eventually able to sit up on his own power.
The loss snapped a five-fight win streak for Haqparast, while Salkilld improved to 3-0 in the UFC after being signed off of Dana White’s Contender Series in 2024.
Salkilld’s fellow fighters were blown away by the finish, including lightweight Terrance McKinney who wrote on social media, “That felt like watching a murder.”
