LAS VEGAS – Andre Fili did not hold back when criticizing the scorecard from one judge of his UFC Fight Night 210 bout against Bill Algeo.
Getting back in the win column on Saturday was important for Fili (22-9 MMA, 10-8 UFC), who entered winless following his three previous walks to the Octagon. Algeo (16-7 MMA, 3-3 UFC) made the fight interesting until the end, but Fili had the bigger moments throughout the contest, turning in a solid performance. However, Fili had to hold his breath while hearing dueling 29-28 scores being read in the fourth split decision result of his UFC career.
“I think I clearly won that fight,” Fili told reporters including MMA Junkie at the post-fight news conference. “It was competitive, but these judges are – I don’t f*cking know with these judges are looking at, man. Thank God they didn’t rob me, but dude, they gotta stop trying to scare me.”
