Quillan Salkilld reflects on debut loss to opponent who never fought again

Quillan Salkilld remains frustrated that Pablo Torrealba, the only fighter to defeat him, retired immediately after their bout. Salkilld lost his MMA debut on February 13, 2021, via rear-naked choke in the second round. Torrealba never competed again after that victory, his sole professional MMA fight. According to reports, Torrealba now works as a coach at a gym. Salkilld joked about having a curse that prevents him from remaining undefeated, noting he lost his first fight in professional MMA, amateur MMA, and kickboxing.
