WA UFC rising star Quillan Salkilld returns to hometown of Broome for meet-and-greet and grappling seminar
Broome-raised UFC rising star Quillan Salkilld will return to his home town next week after back-to-back wins in the Octagon, hosting a free meet-and-greet and grappling seminars. He stormed into the Octagon at UFC 312 in Sydney on February 8, delivering a lightning‑fast 19‑second knockout in his debut against Anshul Jubli, a massive statement from a Kimberley-raised man on the world stage. Then, just over four months later, on June 7 he clinched his second UFC win at UFC 316, earning a unanimous decision over Yanal Ashmouz to bring his UFC record to 2‑0. Now, Salkilld is heading back to Broome ahead of his next bout, saying he's keen to catch up with friends, family, the local martial arts community and, of course, get some fishing in. 'I love Broome, I wish I could visit more often,' he said. 'I always get a warm feeling thinking about the place. 'I'm super excited to come up. I have family in Broome I get to visit, and I get to pass on my knowledge to the young up-and-coming martial artists. I can't wait to do some fishing also.' Salkilld will host a free meet-and-greet at the Roebuck Bay Hotel's Lounge Bar on August 1 and run grappling seminars at Broome Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club on July 31 and August 1, with tickets starting from $80 for club members and $100 for non-members.

Din Thomas: Sean Strickland 'could possibly be' best UFC middleweight: 'It's depressing'
Din Thomas thinks Sean Strickland is focusing his energy in the wrong places. Since upsetting Israel Adesanya to claim the UFC middleweight title at UFC 293, Strickland has lost two of his past three – both in title fights against Dricus Du Plessis. His first fight against Du Plessis at UFC 297 was a close split decision loss, but the rematch at UFC 312 went much more in favor of the champion. Thomas lauded Strickland (29-7 MMA, 16-7 UFC) for his work ethic, but doesn't see it translating to his fights. "The stories you hear about Sean Strickland from every high-level guy that I know that's ever worked with him said that he's the best guy in the room," Thomas said on Daniel Cormier's YouTube channel. "I believe that he could possibly be the best 185-pound fighter in the world right now if he put his energy into actually fighting in the big fights. If he put the same amount of energy that he does on fighting YouTubers and having beef with other people, if he put that energy into fighting the top contenders in the big fights, he would be winning." Daniel Cormier brought up Strickland punching a regional fighter who beat his teammate while he was cornering at Tuff-N-Uff 145 as an example to explain why he thinks Strickland's mind isn't in the right place. "That's my point," Thomas said. "If he would take that energy, if he had that energy against DDP, he'd still have the belt. It's depressing. It's the fact that he's so in the weeds right now, he can't see the big picture, because when his career is over, he's going to look back and go, 'Damn.' He can't see it right now. He's a knucklehead, and I'm sure Eric Nicksick tells him all the time, 'Hey man, you've got to focus on your career, focus on doing the right things, because you're letting these dudes beat you, and you're better than them.' It's despicable."

Picture: Saeed Khan / AFP At a recent launch of Boktown in Sandton, Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie spoke about how much it would cost to attend an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event in South Africa. 'UFC is willing to come but we would have to sell a ticket at R23 000 for us to break even. That's insane. So, what we are doing is, we are engaging with more sponsors.
