Goff is now 1-3 inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n<p>LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; AUGUST 08: Carol Foro of Brazil punches Gigi Canuto of Brazil in a strawweight fight during the UFC Fight Night event at Meta APEX on August 08, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Foro ultimately won a unanimous decision in what turned out to be a wildly entertaining debut for both Strawweight prospects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Canuto had her three-fight winning streak snapped, a run in which she finished all three of her opponents. She was also a contestant on <em>The Ultimate Fighter<\/em> (TUF) 34, entering the show as one of the favorites to win the whole thing. Canuto went 1-1 in the TUF house, knocking out her first opponent in just 25 seconds (watch highlights) before losing in the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Meanwhile, Foro is now riding an eight-fight win streak and has already made herself known as a very exciting prospect in the Strawweight division. The former Jungle Fight champion owns a 77 percent finish rate, with six knockouts and one submission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">At this time, the results of the fighters\u2019 scans have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Stick with MMAmania.com for any further health-related updates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\"><strong>For complete UFC Vegas 120 results, coverage, and highlights click HERE.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-results\/463492\/three-fighters-transported-to-hospital-following-violent-ufc-vegas-120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Better to be safe than sorry &#8230; Following UFC Vegas 120 last night (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) inside the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada promotion officials confirmed to MMAmania.com that three fighters were transported to a local hospital for precautionary reasons after sustaining damage in their respective bouts.
