Two new bouts have been added to UFC Vegas 120, scheduled for August 8. Darren Elkins (19-11 in the UFC) will face Yadier Dell Valle (2-1 in the UFC) at featherweight, while Ty Miller (1-0 in the UFC) takes on Billy Ray Goff (1-2 in the UFC) at welterweight.
Two featherweight and welterweight matchups have been officially added to UFC Vegas 120, set to take place on August 8, with Darren Elkins meeting Yadier Dell Valle and Ty Miller squaring off against Billy Ray Goff rounding out the newly announced bouts.
Elkins, nicknamed "The Damage," enters the fight carrying a 29-12-0 overall record and a 19-11 mark inside the UFC. The 42-year-old American, who trains out of Duneland Vale Tudo, has built his reputation as a durable, relentless pressure fighter. He averages 2.87 takedowns per 15 minutes and adds 1.1 submission attempts in that same span, making him a consistent threat on the mat. His striking accuracy sits at 38 percent with 3.4 significant strikes landed per minute.
Dell Valle, known as "The Cuban Problem," brings a 10-1-0 professional record into the cage along with a 2-1 UFC ledger. The 29-year-old southpaw stands five-foot-nine with a 69-inch reach and showcases notably sharp boxing, connecting on 60 percent of his significant strikes — a standout figure at any level. He lands 4.05 significant strikes per minute and adds a grappling dimension with 1.23 takedowns and 2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
In the welterweight contest, Ty Miller takes his unbeaten 7-0-0 record into his second UFC appearance. The 26-year-old orthodox fighter stands six-foot-two with a 77-inch reach and has shown explosive offensive output, averaging 7.16 significant strikes per minute in his UFC debut. His opponent, Billy Ray Goff, holds a 1-2 UFC record, though no further verified data is available for Goff in this report.
Why it matters
- Elkins vs. Dell Valle pits a seasoned UFC veteran with nearly 20 promotional appearances against a rising contender with elite striking accuracy
- A Dell Valle win would strengthen his case for a ranked featherweight opponent; a loss could stall early momentum
- Miller's striking volume will be tested against the more experienced Goff, making this a meaningful proving ground for an undefeated prospect
