Billy Quarantillo is set to return to the UFC at Vegas 120 after a lengthy hiatus caused by knee surgery and a transition to the lightweight division.
Billy Quarantillo is making his return to the UFC at Vegas 120 after a 19-month absence attributed to knee surgery and a shift to the lightweight category.
The 37-year-old fighter last competed in 2024 at UFC Tampa, where he was defeated by Cub Swanson. Following that fight, he faced challenges with knee reconstruction and weight management, leading him to leave the featherweight division.
Quarantillo revealed that cutting weight from around 175 pounds had become increasingly difficult, impacting his performance. After undergoing knee surgery last year and completing rehabilitation, he is now prepared to compete at 155 pounds against Diego Ferreira in the co-main event on Saturday at Meta Apex in Las Vegas.
