If things play out the way Andre Fili expects, the next 12 months could be a major turning point for his career.
After battling maddening inconsistency and alternating wins and losses for his first eight UFC fights, the 28-year-old featherweight veteran suddenly finds himself in the midst of the best stretch of his Octagon tenure, having picked up back-to-back decisions over Artem Lobov and Dennis Bermudez to inch his way towards top-15 contention. In the midst of his recent run, Fili also made his acting debut in the upcoming feature film Green Fever and shot the debut music video for his hip-hop group Outcasts & Underdogs.
