Andre Fili

Overview

Twenty-seven UFC fights, 14 wins, 13 losses, and 9 of those wins went to the scorecards. Andre Fili, a Featherweight out of Team Alpha Male, has built one of the longer runs on the roster without ever stringing together more than two wins in a row.

That is the shape of his career: always in the building, rarely on a roll. He carries a one-fight win streak into his next fight, and it came by knockout.

UFC Career

Fili debuted in October 2013 at UFC 166 with a second-round TKO of Jeremy Larsen. His second fight was a third-round submission loss to Max Holloway, and that pattern set the tone: the highs and lows arrived early.

The middle of his run is decision territory. Between 2016 and 2020 he went to the judges again and again, beating Hacran Dias, Artem Lobov and Myles Jury on the cards, taking a split decision over Dennis Bermudez, and losing to Calvin Kattar, Michael Johnson and Sodiq Yusuff. His June 2021 fight with Daniel Pineda ended in a no contest in round 2.

The knockout losses came faster. Joanderson Brito stopped him in 41 seconds in April 2022. Dan Ige finished him in round 1 in February 2024. In June 2026, Vinicius Oliveira got him with four seconds left in round 2. Three of his four career KO/TKO losses fit that bad-start-or-bad-finish mold, and it's the clearest risk in his résumé.

But he can still end a fight. His latest win was a 22-second KO/TKO of Kai Kamaka III in round 2 at UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Duncan in October 2026.

Five stoppage wins in 14. The rest came on the cards.

Fighting Style

Andre Fili is a busy striker who gets hit more than most. He lands a lot, but he also takes a lot, and his accuracy trails the UFC average. His defense on the feet is about average.

The grappling side is where he stands out. He shoots for takedowns often and is hard to take down himself. He rarely hunts for submissions, and he has no submission wins in the UFC.

Nine of his 14 UFC wins came by decision, but he can finish. All five of his stoppages are knockouts or TKOs, and three of them came in round 1.
