Gianni Vazquez Returns to UFC to Face Miles Johns

Gianni Vazquez is making a comeback to the UFC less than six months after his release from the promotion. He will face Miles Johns at UFC Vegas 120 on Saturday, stepping in for Jessie Rosas, who withdrew due to a potentially infected forehead cut.

The 27-year-old bantamweight from Mexico previously fought at UFC Vegas 113 on short notice, where he lost to Javid Basharat after missing weight. Despite this, he has since secured a victory outside the UFC with a knockout win over Kamron Orkitov.

Johns, who is currently on a three-fight losing streak, will compete against Vazquez in a featherweight bout to accommodate the quick turnaround for Vazquez. UFC Vegas 120 will take place at the Apex in Las Vegas.
