Wilkinson had his first fight against Grant Blackler of the Australian team. Wilkinson defeated Blackler in the first round via submission. Leading up to his next fight in the tournament, which was set to be against Colin Fletcher, Wilkinson was injured in training and was replaced by Australian Richie Vaculik. Wilkinson was still given a chance to earn a UFC contract at the Finale.
Despite getting injured leading up to his second fight on The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes, Wilkinson was given a fight in the UFC. He faced Brendan Loughnane at UFC on FX 6. Wilkinson was victorious via unanimous decision.
Wilkinson next fought Rony Jason at UFC on Fuel TV 10. Jason defeated Wilkinson by technical submission due to a triangle choke in the first round, giving Wilkinson his first professional MMA loss.
After more than a year out of action, Wilkinson returned to the octagon on October 4, 2014 at UFC Fight Night: Nelson vs. Story and fought Niklas Bäckström. Wilkinson won the fight via KO due to punches in the first round. The win also earned him his first Performance of the Night bonus award.
