Gigi Canuto Added To UFC Vegas 120 On Four Days Notice

TUF 34 standout Gigi Canuto has been added to Saturday's UFC Vegas 120 card on four days notice, according to a report from Leo Guimaraes. The Brazilian strawweight will face Contender Series winner Carol Foro in Las Vegas.

Canuto entered TUF 34 as a favourite and knocked out her opening opponent in 25 seconds, but lost to Melissa Amaya in the semifinal round of the reality show. The 23-year-old remains a top prospect at strawweight with a 7-1 professional record and three straight wins outside the TUF house, two by first-round submission.

Foro earned her UFC contract on season nine of Contender Series after stopping Shanelle Dyer. The 29-year-old Brazilian carries a seven-fight win streak and has finished 77 percent of her opponents, including six by knockout. She is a former Jungle Fight champion.

The strawweight bout is the third short-notice addition to UFC Vegas 120 in recent days, per MMA Mania. Darren Elkins and two other late replacements were also slotted onto the card last week.

UFC Vegas 120 takes place Saturday at Meta Apex with a main event between lightweight contenders Mateusz Gamrot and Quillan Salkilld.
