Billy Quarantillo Analysis
After entering the UFC in 2019, Quarantillo was already well-versed in the sport. He has succeeded by taking a very direct approach, charging in and overwhelming his opponents with the knowledge that they will lose first. Most of the time, Quarantillo’s iron chin has made that accurate. The only time Quarantillo has been knocked out in the UFC was by a vicious knee from Edson Barboza in April; in his other defeats, he usually just stalled out rather than ever being completely deterred from his game. For his next bout, Quarantillo selects Zalal, a UFC returnee, following a few last-minute opponent adjustments.
