LAS VEGAS – Andre Fili doesn’t see how his UFC 303 fight with Cub Swanson doesn’t deliver, and that gets him excited.
Fili (23-11 MMA, 11-10 UFC) meets Swanson (29-13 MMA, 14-9 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC 303 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) prelims at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. When the name Swanson was brought to Fili, he had zero hesitation accepting the fight.
“Immediate yes,” Fili told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “I didn’t ask my coaches. I didn’t talk to anybody. I got a text that said, ‘Do you want to fight Cub Swanson June 29?’ I said, ‘Yes, I do.’
