Charles Johnson vs. Jose Ochoa UFC 330 matchup adds depth to
flyweight division

Johnson is among the most active fighters on the roster, having
already fought thrice in 2026. However, he's struggled for
consistency, alternating between wins and losses across his last
six bouts.

While he has finished the likes of Lone'er
Kavanagh and current champion Joshua Van,
he's lost to Asu
Almabayev, Alex Perez
and Ramazonbek
Temirov. “InnerG†announced the UFC 330 booking on
Instagram.

Meanwhile, Ochoa will look to continue his ascent in the 125-pound
division by defeating Johnson. The 25-year-old Peruvian prospect
has gone 2-2 since joining the UFC. His most recent outing resulted
in a unanimous decision victory over Clayton
Carpenter in May.

Makhachev vs. Garry will headline the card, with a women's
strawweight title fight between Mackenzie
Dern and Gillian
Robertson serving as the co-main event.

Ty Cole Miller plans to use length against Billy Goff at UFC Vegas 120
Ty
Cole Miller doesn't see the need to deviate from his usual
strategy for his upcoming bout in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Miller is scheduled to fight Billy Goff
in a welterweight bout at
UFC Vegas 120 on Aug. 8 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas. The jab has
long been the weapon of choice for the 6-foot-2 Miller. He plans to
use his range as he typically does and pick apart Goff from a
distance.

Ty Cole Miller's jab and reach advantage will be tested against
Billy Goff at UFC Vegas 120

Miller admits that he has to be careful when reacting to Goff's
level changes and making sure that he is not backed up against the
fence.

“I'm gonna use [my height] as I always have, have people fight at
the end of my jab,†Miller said in a recent interview. “Stick ‘em
till they drop. I just need to be able to potshot a little bit.
Have them at the end of my punches and make sure my back isn't
against the fence. And just be able to react when he shoots and
level changes.â€

Miller (7-0) finished Adam Fugitt
in a first-round buzzer-beater in his UFC debut this past January.
The undefeated 26-year-old feels the time away has already been too
long and wants a quick Octagon return. His opponent, Goff (9-4),
enters the matchup needing a win after dropping his last two bouts
following his UFC debut victory in 2023.
