UFC Vegas 120: Gamrot vs Salkilld date, time, tickets, stream - FIGHTMAG

The UFC is back at the APEX this weekend and the card… well, it’s very APEX-y.

The co-main is Mateusz Gamrot vs. Quillan Salkilld in the UFC’s champagne division (lightweight). Gamrot hasn’t been able to push through into the title picture, but he might do that with a win over the hottest prospect in the game right now. Salkilld has blasted through everyone he’s met so far, including Beneil Dariush. He’ll get a step closer to being undeniable as a contender if he beats the experienced ‘Gamer’.

There aren’t many recognizable names and faces on the rest of the card. The best I can offer you is Billy Quarantillo vs. Diego Ferreira and Amanda Lemos vs. Alexia Thainara. Oh, and Darren Elkins is on the card, too. He’s fighting Yadier del Valle.

We make picks regardless of how good the card is, though. So we’ve put our names down on who we think will win all these fights.

Last week William Watts of Open Note Grappling did the best, going an impressive 15-4. Miguel Class went 14-5 and remained on top of our leaderboard, just two points ahead of Stephie Haynes (who went 13-6).

Check out who they are all picking this week.
