Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TODAY (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) with UFC Vegas 120<\/a>, streaming live online via Paramount+<\/a>. The event goes down at the familiar META APEX<\/a> in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our main event tonight is Mateusz Gamrot vs. Quillan Salkilld<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are back at UFC\u2019s new and improve APEX venue for the first time since April (latest renovation details here<\/a>). And we\u2019ve got a card that doesn\u2019t look too great on paper. However, many thought that about UFC Belgrade<\/a> \u2026 and look what happened there<\/a>. Tonight\u2019s ho-hum card, on paper, is topped by a pivotal 155-pound showdown between top-ranked contenders in Gamrot (No. 8<\/a>) versus Salkilld (No. 12<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Gamrot has been inconsistent since switching KSW for UFC and he\u2019s coming off a decent win over Esteban Ribovics, which followed a very lopsided loss to<\/a> Charles Oliveira (re-live that here<\/a>). His inconsistency has left him on the outside looking in in regard to UFC\u2019s Lightweight title picture.<\/p>\n

Salkilld burst onto the scene in 2024 and has looked sensational<\/a> with his quick knockouts<\/a> and dominant wrestling. Last time out he put away Beneil Dariush in quick fashion, showing the mixed martial arts (MMA) world that he means business. A win over Gamrot will catapult him up the rankings and set up some fights with the real elites of the division<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The co-main event is Diego Ferreira vs. Billy Quarantillo. That\u2019s at Lightweight, too, but these guys are nowhere near the rankings. They have a combined 16-12 record in UFC and both are coming off knockout losses. Rounding out the main card are Darren Elkins vs. Yadier del Valle, Amanda Lemos vs. Alexia Thainara and Ty Miller vs. Billy Ray Goff.<\/p>\n

The top \u201cPrelim\u201d tonight is Steven Asplund vs. Guilherme Pat. There\u2019s also Louie Sutherland vs. Jose Montanha and Diyar Nurgozhay vs. Bruno Lopes.<\/p>\n

UFC VEGAS 120 PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES<\/p>\n

Manoel Sousa vs. Richie Miranda: Miranda took the first round, landing some good shots and then spending a lot of time on top. He wasn\u2019t able to seriously hurt Sousa, though. In the second Sousa battered Miranda\u2019s lead leg and that opened up a lot of boxing opportunities for him, including a massive body shot that would have finished most peo0ple. Miranda couldn\u2019t get the takedown he needed in the third round (his leg was too beat up and he was getting tired). Sousa showed great cardio and footwork in doing just enough to get the third round and win the fight.<\/p>\n

Official decision: Manoel Sousa def. Richie Miranda by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)<\/p>\n

Miles Johns vs. Gianni Vazquez: For the second straight fight, Vazquez came in on short notice and came to fight. He lost against Basharat early this year and looked, for a moment, that he was going to get a first round stoppage on Johns here. He clipped Johns and had him in all kinds of trouble, but as Vazquez chased he ran into a big shot that put him down!<\/p>\n

Official decision: Miles Johns def. Gianni Vazquez by TKO (punches), round 1 (3:09)<\/p>\n

Juliana Miller vs. Ravena Oliveira: It took Miller a little time to get her first takedown (and she got beat up a little before it happened). But once she got Oliveira down, she was in total control of the fight. In the second round she got Oliveira down early, took her back and got the choke.<\/p>\n

Official Decision: Juliana Miller def. Ravena Oliveira by submission (rear naked choke), round 2 (4:38)<\/p>\n

GiGi Canuto vs. Carol Foro: Fantastic fight here. These two brawled it out in the first round, with Foro landing the harder shots and wobbling Canuto at least once. Canuto decided to change things up in the second, scoring an early takedowns and then enjoying a ton of time in back mount. In the third Foro managed to stay on her feet for most the round and that allowed her to win round, and the fight, with her striking (including some pretty brutal body work). She also managed to gut out a deep armbar attempt in the last minute.<\/p>\n

Official decision: Carol Foro def. GiGi Canuto by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)<\/p>\n
