Carlos Diego Ferreira VS Billy Quarantillo

Carlos Diego Ferreira defeated Billy Quarantillo by unanimous decision in a lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs. Salkilld on August 8, 2026 in Las Vegas. All three judges scored the fight 30-27 for Ferreira, who controlled all three rounds with a consistent volume striking attack. Ferreira set the pace in the opening frame, landing a career-high in significant strikes in a single round before sustaining that pressure into rounds two and three. Quarantillo pressed forward and found moments in each round, including a late surge in the third, but could not match Ferreira's output or accuracy. The victory was Ferreira's first in over two years, extending his UFC record to 11 wins inside the Octagon and bringing his career total to 20.

Carlos Diego Ferreira looks to snap a two-fight losing streak — consecutive losses to Grant Dawson and Alexander Hernandez — against Billy Quarantillo, who makes his lightweight debut after years as a durable featherweight UFC grinder. Quarantillo's trademark high-volume aggression and boxing could be neutralized by Ferreira's seasoned submission game, making this a test of whether the weight-class jump helps or hurts the Tampa native.
