The Jackson’s MMA Acoma member is 4-6-2 in the Las Vegas-based promotion and will be making his third appearance at 145 pounds after previously competing at lightweight.
Fili also tasted defeat in his first outing this year, falling to Joanderson Brito via TKO in 41 seconds at UFC on ESPN 35 on April 30. The Team Alpha Male product has won just once in his last five UFC bouts — a split verdict against the aforementioned Jourdain in June 2020.
