Salvador has a very fan friendly style of fighting with his hands lowered and heavy reliance on his footwork. 
The issue is that he doesn't have enough footwork ability to make his style work. I feel as though as long as he faces highly skilled strikers with some power he wouldn't get far and that seems to be my issue with this and his first performance as a whole.

@perfection 
Referring to his style in general was not saying it was working for him. 
Thank you hope this helped

Hoping for the Giles upset here but I think Bonfim's exposed chin wont be punished tonight.

Sorry to anyone who might not understand what I am saying being blasted high is the only way to watch half naked men in a cage.
