Salkilld Submitted Mullarkey With a Face Crank at UFC 325
Quillan Salkilld submitted Jamie Mullarkey at 3:02 of round one at UFC 325 on January 31, 2026, in Sydney. The Australian lightweight secured a face crank to open the main card with a quick finish.
A fast submission on the main card
Mullarkey brought extensive UFC experience into the all-Australian matchup, while Salkilld was still building his profile in the promotion. The bout opened the UFC 325 main card at Qudos Bank Arena.
Salkilld took the fight to the mat and locked in a face crank. Mullarkey tapped at 3:02 of the first round, ending the contest before the scheduled three rounds were close to completion.
The official method was submission by face crank. Some recaps use the broader label neck crank, but UFC’s official scorecards identify the specific technique as a face crank.
A local breakthrough at UFC 325
The result gave Salkilld a first-round victory over a more experienced opponent in front of a home-country audience. It came three months before his later stoppage of Beneil Dariush at UFC Perth.
Mullarkey lost by submission and did not reach the second round. The fight was not a knockout and should not be conflated with Salkilld’s later UFC results.
UFC’s event record confirms the date, method and finishing time. The UFC 325 result page and Salkilld’s official athlete history both record the face-crank submission.
