The event marked Jubli's first UFC appearance since his loss against Mike Breeden at UFC 294. Salkilld, on the other hand, entered the bout on a seven-fight win streak.
The fight turned out to be a very short-lived affair as Salkilld landed a brutal right hand that knocked Jubli down in the opening seconds of the fight. This led the referee to intervene and stop the fight in the Australian's favor. 'King of Lions' protested the 19-second stoppage but without success.
