Better to be safe than sorry …<\/p>\n

Following UFC Vegas 120<\/a> last night (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) inside the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada promotion officials confirmed to MMAmania.com<\/a> that three fighters were transported to a local hospital for precautionary reasons after sustaining damage in their respective bouts.<\/p>\n

The fighters transported were Gigi Canuto, Carol Foro and Billy Goff.<\/p>\n

Goff (9-5) was transported to the hospital for precautionary CT scans of his head and face after suffering a brutal third-round stoppage loss at the hands of undefeated prospect Ty Miller, which kicked off the UFC Vegas 120 main card (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Goff, things are trending in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old is now riding a three-fight losing streak, has been finished in back-to-back fights and could very well be receiving a pink slip in the coming weeks. Goff is now 1-3 inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Both Brazilian newcomers, Canuto (7-2) and Foro (10-1), were also transported for precautionary CT scans of their respective heads and faces following their hard-fought three-round battle that opened UFC Vegas 120.<\/p>\n

Canuto and Foro beat the hell out of each other for 15 minutes, with both women absorbing several heavy shots throughout the contest. Foro ultimately won a unanimous decision in what turned out to be a wildly entertaining debut for both Strawweight prospects.<\/p>\n

Canuto had her three-fight winning streak snapped, a run in which she finished all three of her opponents. She was also a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 34, entering the show as one of the favorites to win the whole thing. Canuto went 1-1 in the TUF house, knocking out her first opponent in just 25 seconds (watch highlights<\/a>) before losing in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Foro is now riding an eight-fight win streak and has already made herself known as a very exciting prospect in the Strawweight division. The former Jungle Fight champion owns a 77 percent finish rate, with six knockouts and one submission.<\/p>\n

At this time, the results of the fighters\u2019 scans have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n
