Quillan Salkilld reflects on his only career loss to Pablo Torreallba

Quillan Salkilld remains frustrated that Pablo Torreallba, who handed him his only professional defeat, retired immediately after their fight. Torreallba submitted Salkilld via rear-naked choke in the second round on February 13, 2021, marking both Salkilld's MMA debut and Torreallba's only professional bout. Salkilld says he never trained extensively with Torreallba and has tried to erase the loss from memory. He notes a pattern in his career where he consistently loses his first fight in any new combat sport, calling it a curse that prevents him from remaining undefeated. Torreallba is now reportedly working as a coach at a gym.
