Lemos nearly hit another snag at the official weigh-ins for Saturday\u2019s event, twice stepping to the scale and twice coming in over the strawweight limit for a non-title bout, first at 117 pounds, and then stripping down to make 116.5 pounds (still 0.5 pounds over the limit).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Lemos\u2019 first two attempts were close together (though several fighters weighed in in between), so it\u2019s unclear if one of the attempts was not considered official. Regardless, around an hour after the start of the two-hour weigh-in window, Lemos stripped down and stepped to the scale again and successfully made weight at 115.5 pounds, making her bout with Thainara official.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Lightweight headliners Mateusz Gamrot and Quillan Salkilld were the first fighters to weigh in Friday and both fighters hit the mark for a non-title fight, coming in at 155.5 pounds. Gamrot is currently the No. 11 lightweight in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/ufc\/499486\/rankings-shakeup-paddy-pimblett-will-not-be-denied\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Fighting Global Rankings,<\/a> with the streaking Salkilld close behind at No. 13.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Also of note, Darren Elkins successfully made weight at 145.5 pounds for his final fight. The 42-year-old featherweight veteran has been with the UFC since 2010 and competes in a retirement bout Saturday when he takes on Yadier del Valle on the main card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">All 24 fighters competing at UFC Vegas 120 successfully made weight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">See Friday\u2019s official weigh-in results below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Main Card (Paramount+ at 8 p.m. ET)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Mateusz Gamrot (155.5) vs. Quillan Salkilld (155.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Diego Ferreira (154.5) vs. Billy Quarantillo (155.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Darren Elkins (145.5) vs. Yadier del Valle (145.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Amanda Lemos (115.5)* vs. Alexia Thainara (115.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Ty Miller (170.5) vs. Billy Ray Goff (170.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Preliminary Card (Paramount+ at 5 p.m. ET)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Steven Asplund (263.5) vs. Guilherme Pat (249.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Diyar Nurgozhay (205) vs. Bruno Lopes (204.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Louie Sutherland (258) vs. Jose Montanha da Silva (258.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Manoel Sousa (156) vs. Richie Miranda (155.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Miles Johns (145.5) vs. Gianni Vazquez (143)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Juliana Miller (125.5) vs. Ravena Oliveira (125.5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">GiGi Canuto (116) vs. Carol Foro (116)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">*Lemos initially stepped the scale at 117 pounds, then stripped down for a second attempt shortly after and came in at 116.5 pounds, still over the limit.
