‘Sick headbutt…elegant move’: Pros react to Andre Fili’s brutal knockout victory at UFC Vegas 122

UFC fighters, past and present, were very impressed with what they saw from Andre Fili at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night event.

Fili faced fellow featherweight veteran Kai Kamaka III in a main card clash at UFC Vegas 122, which took place at Meta APEX in Las Vegas. After a very entertaining first round of action between the fighters, Fili uncorked an incredible head kick that stunned his opponent to score a massive victory and erupt APEX in the process.

Fili’s victory ended a two-fight skid as he picked up his first octagon victory since his split decision win over Christian Rodriguez in April 2025. “Touchy” moves his overall UFC record back above the .500 mark at 14-13, with 1 no contest. For Kamaka, his second run with the UFC is now 1-2 with consecutive stoppage losses.
