The UFC returns home to Las Vegas, NV today (August 8) for a UFC Fight Night event at the Meta APEX.
The card’s headlining bout features top-ranked lightweight contenders Quillan Salkilld and Mateusz Gamrot, who will look to halt an unbeaten start to Salkilld’s UFC career that includes four “Performance of the Night” bonuses out of five fights.
The co-main event also takes place at lightweight, as longtime UFC veterans Billy Quarantillo and Diego Ferreira will both meet to see which man is able to snap their current two-fight skid.

The main card will also see a UFC fan favorite compete for the final time, as Darren Elkins is set to square off with Yadier del Valle in a featherweight contest.

In arguably the most significant matchup outside of the main event, former title challenger Amanda Lemos also faces Alexia Thainara in an all-Brazilian strawweight contest.

The main card opens with a welterweight bout between Billy Ray Goff and Ty Miller, who is a perfect 7-0 in his professional MMA career and is coming off a buzzer beater-finish of Adam Fugitt in his promotional debut at UFC 324.

Richie Miranda also makes his highly-anticipated UFC debut against Manoel Sousa, and Gianni Vazquez gets a second chance in the UFC after stepping up on very short notice to meet Miles Johns.

The opening bout for UFC Vegas 120 was also a very late addition to the card, as former TUF competitor Gigi Canuto is set to debut against her countrywoman Carol Foro after the latter fighter secured a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series last year.
