UFC 321 has gained another late addition.
On Friday, the promotion made a lightweight battle between Nasrat Haqparast and Quillan Salkilld official for the Oct. 25 pay-per-view event at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
Haqparast (18-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has been in the UFC since 2017, but is currently on the longest winning streak of his promotional tenure. As he enters UFC 321, Haqparast rides a five-fight winning streak that includes victories against John Makdessi, Landon Quinones, Jamie Mullarkey, Jared Gordon, and Esteban Ribovics.
Salkilld (9-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has shined on the biggest stage thus far in his short UFC career. After an impressive showing on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2024, Salkilld knocked out Anshul Jubli in 19 seconds in his promotional debut. He returned in June and put on a clinic vs. Yanal Ashmouz, winning by unanimous decision.

- Champ Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane – for heavyweight title
