UFC Vegas 120 adds new bouts including 30-fight octagon veteran

UFC Vegas 120 has added several bouts to its August 8 card at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, including a significant milestone fight for veteran featherweight Darren Elkins. The 42-year-old "Damage" will face Yadier del Valle (10-1) in what Elkins, posting on Instagram, called "My last dance!" The bout marks Elkins' 31st octagon appearance in a UFC career spanning years. Elkins last fought in April 2025, losing via first-round TKO to Julian Erosa and snapping a two-fight winning streak. Del Valle (10-1) seeks to rebound from his first professional loss, which came against Jordan Leavitt in February.

The card is headlined by top-10 lightweight Mateusz Gamrot facing streaking contender Quillan Salkilld. Other newly confirmed matchups include strawweight contenders Amanda Lemos (15-6-1) and Alexia Thainara (14-1), lightweight prospect Diego Ferreira (19-7) welcoming Billy Quarantillo (18-7) to the division, and undefeated Dana White's Contender Series welterweight prospect Ty Miller (7-0, 1 NC) taking on Billy Ray Goff (9-4).
