Ed Mulholland\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>Mateusz Gamrot (+110) vs. Quillan Salkilld (-130)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Things have been up and down for Gamrot over the past few years. In early 2024, he overwhelmed a fading Rafael dos Anjos for a unanimous decision. He was then upset by Dan Hooker, getting touched up en route to a split decision loss. In 2025, he scored a dominating decision over the much smaller Ludovit Klein. And then he followed that up with a submission loss to Charles Oliveira (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-espn-plus-fight-pass-events-schedule-mma\/395158\/watch-video-highlights-ufc-rio-results-espn-brazil-oliveira-submission-gamrot\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). He looked a class below \u201cDo Bronx\u201d in that fight. This April he got a submission win over Esteban Ribovics (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-327-live-stream-miami-prochazka-ulberg-mma\/435788\/watch-ufc-327-video-highlights-results-cbs-paramount-miami-gamrot-submission-ribovics-lopes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). That took his UFC record to 9-4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Things have been going up-and-up for Salkilld. He burst onto the scene in early 2023 with a 19-second knockout over Anshul Jubli (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/2\/8\/24361705\/video-highlights-ufc-312-results-espn-ppv-australia-salkilld-knockout-du-plessis-strickland\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). After that, he used his wrestling to beat Yanal Ashmouz and then a head kick from hell to beat Nasrat Haqparast (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-321-fight-card-aspinall-vs-gane-start-time-preview-live-results-abu-dhabi\/398279\/watch-ufc-321-video-highlights-results-espn-ppv-abu-dhabi-salkilld-knockout-head-kick-haqparast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). In January, he sliced through Jamie Mullarkey (a short-notice replacement opponent). In May, he was given his biggest name opponent to date, in the form of Beneil Dariush. He beat the perennial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-mma-rankings\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Top 10<\/a> Lightweight with a first round technical knockout (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-paramount-plus-news-hub-fight-cards-schedule\/440475\/watch-ufc-perth-video-highlights-results-australia-paramount-salkilld-knockout-dariush\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I\u2019m not quite a believer in Salkilld as a title contender. But, I do think he\u2019s got a great chance of beating Gamrot and getting to that next step up the ladder. Salkilld\u2019s skills have looked flawless against the chaff of the division, including Dariush, who after this latest run, can be viewed as \u201cjust a guy\u201d and not an elite Lightweight. So, we have all that in Salkilld\u2019s favor. When you add his size to the equation, I think this is a very tough fight for Gamrot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Salkilld is a very big Lightweight. He\u2019s 6\u2019 and has a 75-inch reach. That reach is longer than Ian Machado-Garry\u2019s. Gamrot\u2019s two recent losses were to guys bigger and\/or longer than him (Hooker and Oliveira) and his best performances have come against fighters he has a lot of size over (Klein and dos Anjos).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Gamrot\u2019s pressure wrestling game falls apart when someone can hurt him as he comes in (like Hooker did) or if someone is too big and strong for him to take down. Salkilld has both those things working in his favor. He\u2019s also shown some great wrestling, like with his dominant performance over Ashmouz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I\u2019m just struggling to see Gamrot\u2019s path to victory on this one. He\u2019ll hope that he can chip away at the feet and spend lots of time with Salkilld folded up against the fence or flat on his back. Even if Gamrot has the talent to do that, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s strong enough to do that to someone who is so big.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">There\u2019s also the age factor with Salkilld being nine years younger than Gamrot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">All of this piled together makes me surprised to not see Salkilld as a very big favorite in this bout. As it stands, my best bet is taking the Aussie on the moneyline.<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: Quillan Salkilld moneyline (-130)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbnation.com\/users\/E9KZzS1eFU\/Tim%20Edwards\" class=\"_1tkg4tn7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Tim Edwards\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_1tkg4tn5 _8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_1018..jpeg\"\/><\/a><img alt=\"MMA Mania\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_1tkg4tn4 _8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775710570_616_logo-mmamania.png\"\/><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2190010563.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"4974\" data-pswp-width=\"7182\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Billy Quarantillo returns at UFC Vegas 120.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2190010563.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Billy Quarantillo returns at UFC Vegas 120.

That ended in a second round technical knockout (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/latest-news\/389960\/alexander-hernandez-mad-at-himself-for-brutally-knocking-out-diego-ferreira\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). Before that he was totally dominated by Grant Dawson. His last win was his come from behind technical knockout over Mateusz Rebecki in 2024 (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2024\/5\/11\/24154582\/pic-mateusz-rebecki-shares-photo-of-his-mangled-face-following-tko-loss-ufc-st-louis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

He hasn\u2019t competed since Dec. 2024. That\u2019s when Cub Swanson went beast mode on him and took him out in the third round (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2024\/12\/15\/24321317\/video-highlights-ufc-tampa-results-espn-swanson-knockout-quarantillo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). Before that, Quarantillo was submitted by Youssef Zalal (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2024\/3\/23\/24110146\/highlights-youssef-zalal-returns-to-ufc-in-style-strangles-billy-quarantillo-ufc-vegas-89-espn-mma\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I can\u2019t believe this is serving as a co-main event in 2026. These two have had some exciting fights, but both have way more of their career behind them than in front of them at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">These are two pretty similar fighters. They both want to stand and bang, but have a lot of wrestling and\/or grappling to help them out if the fight goes there. At this point, though, they\u2019ve both slowed down to the point where it would be irresponsible to match them with young up-and-comers (like what has happened to poor Darren Elkins further down the card). I suppose it\u2019s good that we are seeing them fight each other, then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The last time Quarantillo fought a fighter of advanced years he got knocked out cold. The last time Ferreira fought someone similarly long-in-the-tooth, he got a big knockout (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2023\/5\/20\/23731094\/full-fight-video-highlights-ufc-vegas-73-results-espn-ferreira-knockout-johnson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">that was against Michael Johnson<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I like Ferreira in this fight and it\u2019s mostly because of Quarantillo\u2019s extended time on the sidelines. Ferreira has been out almost a year himself, but Quarantillo\u2019s extra-long period of inactivity paired with Ferreira\u2019s four-inch reach advantage has me somewhat confident in the Brazilian.<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: Diego Ferreira moneyline (-162)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbnation.com\/users\/E9KZzS1eFU\/Tim%20Edwards\" class=\"_1tkg4tn7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Tim Edwards\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_1tkg4tn5 _8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_1018..jpeg\"\/><\/a><img alt=\"MMA Mania\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_1tkg4tn4 _8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775710570_616_logo-mmamania.png\"\/><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-1446576996.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"3596\" data-pswp-width=\"5394\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"The Damage meets a youngster at UFC Vegas 120.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-1446576996.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Damage meets a youngster at UFC Vegas 120. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>Darren Elkins (+500) vs. Yadier del Valle (-700)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Elkins is set to make his 30th walk to the Octagon on Saturday. It\u2019s been more than one year since we last saw him, when he was short-circuited by Julian Erosa (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/4\/12\/24406959\/highlights-julian-erosa-destroys-wobbly-darren-elkins-uncomfortably-violent-win-ufc-314\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). Before that, he got typically gutsy wins over Daniel Pineda and TJ Brown. He turned 42 in May.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Del Valle was upset by Jordan Leavitt in his last fight, losing a decision as a -420 favorite. That was Leavitt\u2019s Featherweight debut and he looked massive opposite Del Valle. Del Valle was 10-0 up to that point with two submission wins in UFC. One of those was the controversial victory over Isaac Dulgarian, though (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-news\/402610\/cut-ufc-fighter-isaac-dulgarian-officially-suspended-after-fight-fixing-allegations\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">not that any of the controversy had anything to do with Del Valle<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Poor Elkins, UFC really is showing its hand here when it comes to what they think of him. Elkins is the kind of guy who probably gets motivated when he\u2019s set up against a young gun who is a big favorite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Even so, there\u2019s only so much a 42-year-old can do out there in the cage. I think Del Valle, who is 12 years younger than Elkins, is going to be too strong for him. Elkins doesn\u2019t have the power left in his hands to break guys down with his pressure. I think he\u2019ll do his best, but Del Valle will be able to pick him apart and probably take him for a ride with his wrestling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I think Del Valle probably gets the finish here and it probably happens in less than 2.5 rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: Under 2.5 rounds (-260)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25923122\/2205794053.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"3344\" data-pswp-width=\"5016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"UFC Fight Night - The O2 - Saturday March 22nd\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2205794053.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alexia Thainara will try to inject some fun into UFC Vegas 120. Photo by Adam Davy\/PA Images via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Lemos (+200) vs. Alexia Thainara (-245)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Lemos\u2019 last fight was a decision loss to next week\u2019s title challenger, Gillian Robertson. Before that, she lost to recent title challenger, Tatiana Suarez. Her last win was over Iasmin Lucindo in March 2025. She\u2019s 15-6-1, but \u2014 other than Leslie Smith \u2014 every woman who has beaten her has either been a champion or a title challenger. That includes her own title loss to Zhang Weili in 2023, where she handled herself quite well. Lemos holds a win over Mackenzie Dern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Thainara is 14-1 after she dominated Bruna Brasil in March. She\u2019s now 3-0 in UFC with wins over Loma Lookboonmee and Molly McCann \u2014 by submission (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/3\/22\/24391776\/watch-video-highlights-ufc-london-results-espn-thainara-submit-mccann-retire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I really like Thainara, but I worry that this match-up might be coming too soon for her. Lemos is as tough a vet as they have in the division. And she just did the whole \u201cshutting down the up-and-comer\u201d act when she totally schooled Lucindo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Thainara has Lemos beat on paper, when you look at the stats, but we really need to throw that out the window. The difference between these ladies schedules is night and day. Two of Thainara\u2019s three opponents aren\u2019t even in the promotion anymore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Despite Thainara being so green, I wouldn\u2019t be too surprised if she managed to get past Lemos. She does have a lot of size, youth and athleticism on her side. Lemos\u2019 experience and technical skill are unlike anything Thainara has seen before, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I don\u2019t have a point spread for this one, yet. But, Lemos plus the points would be a great bet to make, in my opinion \u2014 since I don\u2019t think Thainara finishes her and Lemos knows how to win rounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As it is, though, I\u2019ll take the underdog hoping she can end this hype train (for a fighter I do actually really like!).<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: Amanda Lemos +3.5 (-135)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2152390094.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"4896\" data-pswp-width=\"7344\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Billy Ray Goff will look for his second win at UFC Vegas 120.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2152390094.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Billy Ray Goff will look for his second win at UFC Vegas 120.

In May he was slept by Ramiz Brahimaj in the first round (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/5\/31\/24440592\/watch-video-highlights-ufc-vegas-107-results-espn-brahimaj-submission-goff\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). He was the -400 favorite in that fight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This is an interesting match-up since it was once Goff getting the kind of hype that Miller is getting now. There\u2019s a lot to motivate him in this bout; like wanting to prove he deserves some attention and also wanting to snap his two-fight losing streak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Is Goff\u2019s desire enough, though?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">He\u2019s got a really uphill battle in this fight. And that\u2019s because of how small he is compared to Miller. Miller is four inches taller and has five inches of reach on him. That\u2019s going to make everything harder for Goff, in both striking and grappling. I\u2019ve not seen much to show that Goff is special enough to conquer those disadvantages (especially against someone who looks pretty good at this point).<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: Ty Miller moneyline (-285)<\/p>\n<p>UFC Vegas 120 \u2018Prelims\u2019 Under Card Odds<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2268836434.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"2331\" data-pswp-width=\"3496\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Bruno Lopes will try to rebound at UFC Vegas 120.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2268836434.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bruno Lopes will try to rebound at UFC Vegas 120.

Before that, he was TKO\u2019d by Brando Pericic (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-results\/399086\/rookie-report-card-grading-the-lone-octagon-newcomer-ufc-321-post-mortem\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) and heel-hooked by Valter Walker (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-321-fight-card-aspinall-vs-gane-start-time-preview-live-results-abu-dhabi\/398294\/watch-ufc-321-video-highlights-results-espn-ppv-abu-dhabi-valter-walker-heel-hook-submission\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Montanha is a total UFC newcomer. The 29-year-old is 6-1 with a career fought entirely in Brazil. He was booked to debut in Nov. 2025, but that fight fell through. He was also booked against Jhonata Diniz in June, but Diniz had to pull out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">There\u2019s very little information out there on Montanha. I watched the following video:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The awful AI narration makes this really hard to get through and I think the prompt this \u201ccreator\u201d put in made the narration really hype up Montanha. In the video itself he looks terrible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">You can win at Heavyweight in UFC despite being terrible, though.

He\u2019s now 1-1 in UFC after scoring a technical knockout on Sean Sharaf in his debut (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-espn-plus-fight-pass-events-schedule-mma\/409581\/watch-ufc-vegas-112-video-highlights-results-espn-mma-asplund-knockout-sharaf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Pat lost a majority decision to Thomas Petersen in April. That was the first loss of his professional career. Before that, he won a very forgettable fight over Allen Frye Jr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Pat\u2019s biggest attribute is his size at 6\u20196.\u201d However, against Petersen all that size didn\u2019t count for much. He landed some good kicks early, but then seemed too afraid to engage. Petersen took advantage of that, hurting him in the third and earning a 10-8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">If Pat\u2019s passivity was because of Octagon jitters (in his second professional fight \u2026 in the APEX) or some kind of injury he was masking, then there could be hope for him. If he\u2019s just a massive guy who is too anxious to fight with aggression and assertiveness, though, then he won\u2019t last long here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Asplund is also massive. And he\u2019s not afraid to attack (and get hit). He\u2019s going to push the pace in this fight and be in Pat\u2019s face. That could overwhelm Pat or it could leave Asplund open for counters (if Pat\u2019s willing to throw them).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I\u2019m with the bookies in thinking Pat might shrink away from contact in this one and that Asplund will chase him down and put a hurting on him.<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: Steven Asplund moneyline (-230)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2267569650.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"5088\" data-pswp-width=\"7631\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Ravenna Oliveira will try and turn her fortunes around at UFC Vegas 120.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2267569650.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ravenna Oliveira will try and turn her fortunes around at UFC Vegas 120.

She missed weight for her last fight, a technical knockout loss to Shanelle Dyer (see it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-results\/428809\/ufc-london-live-results-highlights-play-by-play-evloev-vs-murphy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This might be one of the lowest level fights ever put on by UFC, featuring two women who really needed a lot more seasoning before getting put in the Octagon. Miller is the big favorite for her wrestling capability and that\u2019s probably all she needs in this fight. Oliveira sits at 46 percent when it comes to defending takedowns, so I expect her to spend a lot of time on her back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I\u2019ll take the under here, thinking Miller can get a submission during her time in top control.<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: Under 2.5 rounds (-166)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2189993472.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"5760\" data-pswp-width=\"8640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Miles Johns gets a short notice opportunity at UFC Vegas 120.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2189993472.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Miles Johns gets a short notice opportunity at UFC Vegas 120.

He\u2019s on a three-fight losing streak, which included a submission loss to Daniel Marcos in his last outing. The other losses were to Jean Matsumoto and Felipe Lima. Those three fighters had a combined record of 44-3 when he met them, though. His last win was a decision over Douglas Silva de Andrade in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Rosas is making his UFC debut here. He\u2019s the younger brother of Raul Rosas Jr.. He\u2019s 8-1 on his career so far, with most his fights happening in the Ultimate Warrior Challenge Mexico promotion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Rosas\u2019 record isn\u2019t much to write home about. He\u2019s only 23 and he\u2019s been thrown into the deep end for his UFC debut. Johns may have lost his last three, but he\u2019s a 32-year-old man who knows how to win in the Octagon. His last three losses were to great opponents. Marcos and Lima are both UFC quality, despite being released from the promotion. Those releases were two of the biggest head scratching roster moves UFC has done lately. Marcos, Lima and Matsumoto would all be favorites against Rosas if they fought him today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I\u2019ll side with the veteran here.

And I\u2019ve really enjoyed watching Miranda on LFA. He\u2019s a very experienced fighter and the names on his record aren\u2019t that much different from what passes for an APEX undercard fighter these days. He\u2019ll have some decent reach on Sousa, as well as a grappling advantage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I don\u2019t have odds for these yet, but I\u2019m picking Miranda (who I suspect might be a slight underdog).<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: Richie Miranda moneyline (+215)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2289066792.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"5133\" data-pswp-width=\"7700\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"GiGi Canuto gets a short notice opportunity at UFC Vegas 120.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2289066792.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>GiGi Canuto gets a short notice opportunity at UFC Vegas 120. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>GiGi Canuto vs. Carol Faro<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This was thrown together yesterday (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-fight-announcements\/462460\/another-tuf-34-loser-gigi-canuto-added-to-ufc-vegas-120-on-four-days-notice\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">seriously<\/a>). So, I have no odds for it and they probably won\u2019t be released until fight day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Canuto had impressed on the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter. Outside of that show she has a 7-1 pro record with fights all in LFA, mostly by stoppage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Faro beat Shanelle Dyer, by decision, on Contender Series back in 2025 and has struggled to get booked since. She\u2019s had fights with Nicolle Caliari and Stephanie Luciano fall through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Both these women have a lot of upside, but I think Canuto\u2019s grappling and athleticism get her the W on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: GiGi Canuto moneyline (?)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_19lkh3w1\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2258756340.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"4320\" data-pswp-width=\"6480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Will Salkilld have success on the ground at UFC Vegas 120?\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gettyimages-2258756340.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Will Salkilld have success on the ground at UFC Vegas 120? STEVEN MARKHAM \/ AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>UFC Vegas 120 Long Shots!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Here\u2019s a couple of long shots for Saturday night\u2019s action &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Quillan Salkilld to win by submission (+450)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I\u2019m really mindful of Salkilld\u2019s size in this match-up. That alone won\u2019t beat Gamrot on the ground, but that plus all Salkilld\u2019s talents might. I think there\u2019s a chance he\u2019s able to stuff a takedown, smother Gamrot and then get a submission.<\/p>\n<p>Two-bet parlay: Richie Miranda and Carlos Ferreira money lines (+395)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I\u2019ve watched a lot of Miranda in LFA and I think he\u2019s cut out for this level. He\u2019s also hella tough and just can gut out wins. He\u2019s my favorite underdog here so I\u2019m pairing him with a moderate favorite. Ferreira is over the hill, but so is Quarantillo (who has a shorter reach and has been out since 2024).<\/p>\n<p>Yadier Del Valle to by KO\/TKO\/DQ in Round 2 (+500)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I don\u2019t like what I saw from Elkins in his last fight and I think his people need to have some frank conversations with him.<\/p>\n<p>To checkout the latest and greatest UFC Vegas 120: \u201cGamrot vs. Salkilld\u201d news and notes be sure to hit up our comprehensive event archive right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-paramount-plus-news-hub-fight-cards-schedule\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC Vegas 120 happens this weekend (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) at the META APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":847879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,33601,638,82,139445,702,17056,17055,8729],"class_list":["post-847878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-on-paramount","tag-ufc-news","tag-ufc-odds","tag-ufc-predictions","tag-ufc-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=847878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/847879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=847878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=847878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=847878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
