Andre Fili says Michael Johnson ‘broke’ in featherweight debut, and UFC Lincoln will be no different

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.
