LAS VEGAS, Aug. 8, 2026 — Undefeated welterweight prospect Ty Miller is set to face Billy Ray Goff at UFC Vegas 120 on Saturday night, with the matchup putting Miller’s unbeaten record against a more experienced opponent who is looking to halt a difficult run inside the UFC.
The 170-pound bout is part of the card at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, where Mateusz Gamrot and Quillan Salkilld headline the event. UFC’s official event listing confirms Miller and Goff as part of the welterweight lineup.
Miller enters the fight with a 7-0 professional record and one no contest, according to UFC records. The 26-year-old stands 6-foot-2 with a 77-inch reach and fights from an orthodox stance. His most recent appearance came at UFC 324 in January, when he stopped veteran Adam Fugitt with strikes at 4:59 of the opening round.
That victory marked a successful UFC debut for Miller and extended a run that began before his arrival in the promotion. He previously earned a unanimous decision over Jimmy Drago on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2025. UFC records list three professional knockout victories for Miller, with his UFC debut providing another first-round stoppage.
Goff brings a different profile into the matchup. The 28-year-old Connecticut fighter owns a 9-4 professional record and has competed four times in the UFC. UFC Stats lists Goff at 5-foot-10 with a 72-inch reach and a switch stance. His statistical profile also shows a high-volume striking game, with 7.51 significant strikes landed per minute across his UFC statistics.
Goff’s most recent UFC appearance came in May 2025, when Ramiz Brahimaj submitted him with a guillotine choke at 3:16 of the first round. Before that defeat, Goff had lost a unanimous decision to Trey Waters and had scored a first-round knockout against Yusaku Kinoshita in August 2023.
The long gap between appearances adds another variable to Saturday’s matchup. Miller has not fought since January, but Goff’s previous UFC outing was more than a year before this return. Their respective layoffs mean the opening exchanges could provide an early indication of how each fighter has adjusted during his time away.
Size is another clear difference. Miller has a six-inch height advantage and roughly five inches of reach over Goff based on UFC’s published measurements. That physical disparity could influence how the fight develops, particularly at striking range. Miller’s previous UFC performance also demonstrated his willingness to maintain pressure and look for a finish rather than rely solely on the judges.
Goff, however, has demonstrated that he can generate offense of his own. UFC Stats credits him with 46 percent significant-strike accuracy and 7.51 significant strikes landed per minute. His professional record also includes seven knockout or TKO victories, giving him a proven finishing threat despite the recent setbacks.
The matchup attracted attention before fight night because of the contrast between Miller’s unbeaten momentum and Goff’s need for a strong return. Several outlets had Miller favored in their pre-fight assessments, although those forecasts remain predictions rather than evidence of the eventual outcome. MMA Fighting described the matchup as a significant stylistic and physical challenge for Goff, while other pre-fight analysts also leaned toward Miller.
For Miller, the fight represents an opportunity to build on the momentum from his UFC debut and add another established name to his record. A second consecutive UFC victory would strengthen his position as one of the promotion’s developing welterweight prospects.
For Goff, the stakes are different. He returns after more than a year away from competition and enters the bout following three consecutive UFC defeats. A victory over an undefeated prospect would immediately change the direction of his UFC career.
The fight is scheduled for the UFC Vegas 120 main card at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The event is being broadcast on Paramount+, with the main card scheduled for Saturday evening in the United States.
As of the latest verified live results available, the Miller-Goff bout remains listed on the UFC Vegas 120 card, while results from several preliminary bouts have already been recorded. The final result of Miller vs. Goff should therefore be added only after an official or independently verified result is available.
