Will take on Cub Swanson
Fili will take on Cub Swanson in a bantamweight fight at UFC 303 on June 29, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Fili lost to Dan Ige via KO (punches) at 2:43 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Feb. 10 in Las Vegas, and he will look to bounce back in this upcoming fight. However, facing Swanson won't be easy, as the veteran knows his way around the octagon quite well. He's now alternated wins and losses over his last five bouts.

Hammered by Dan Ige
Fili lost to Dan Ige via KO (punches) at 2:43 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Fili isn't known as a guy with durability issues, but Ige has ridiculous power for a smaller fighter, and all it took was one massive right hand to put the former away. Andre was doing fine prior to the stoppage, but that's obviously not saying much. Few fighters in the company are as inconsistent as Fili. The 33-year-old Team Alpha Male product has alternated losses and wins in his last five trips to the cage. A member of the UFC roster for more than a decade, Fili has some gas left in the tank, but the company needs to be careful regarding who they match him up against moving forward. Putting him up against fringe top-10 guys like Ige isn't the answer.

Taking on Dan Ige
Fili will fight Dan Ige in a featherweight bout at UFC Vegas 86 on Feb. 10, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Fili is coming off a win against Lucas Almeida in December and will step in on short notice with Lerone Murphy (undisclosed) withdrawing due to an injury. Ige lost to Bryce Mitchell in September and has just two wins in his past six efforts.

Returns to win column
Fili defeated Lucas Almeida via TKO (punches) at 3:32 of Round 1 at UFC 296 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Having long earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the sport's most inconsistent fighters, it's impossible to guess what we will see from Fili on a fight-by-fight basis. His stopping power has always been limited, and his striking defense questionable, but he crushed Almeida with a massive right hand before jumping on top of his fallen foe and closing the show. To give you an idea of Fili's inconsistencies, he has now alternated wins and losses in his last eight matchups dating back to July 2019, which, oddly enough, was his last knockout victory. Expect the 33-year-old Team Alpha Male product to hover around the .500 mark moving forward.

Fighting at UFC 296
Fili will fight Lucas Almeida at UFC 296 on Dec. 16, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Fili has lost three of his last four fights, so he'll surely be desperate to collect a win in order to preserve his future within the UFC.
