#2. Andre Fili usually delivers crazy levels of action in the octagon

There are a number of fighters currently competing in the UFC who seem to guarantee crazy action every time they step into the octagon, and Andre Fili is undoubtedly one of them. Sure, โTouchyโ is no longer considered a prospect, nor is he a title contender, but itโs still hard to ignore him when heโs in action.
Interestingly, the main reason why Filiโs never quite ascended to the top of the featherweight division is the same reason why heโs so exciting to watch. The Team Alpha Male fighter is aggressive to a fault, and often puts himself in harmsโ way in order to attack his opponent.

Coming into this weekendโs bout with Joanderson Brito, Fili has not officially won a fight since his decision win over Charles Jourdain in 2020. He was comfortably beating Daniel Pineda in his last trip to the octagon, only for the fight to be declared a No Contest when Pineda suffered an accidental eye poke.
However, this bout seems like a winnable one for โTouchyโ, as Brito doesnโt have anywhere near the same experience as him inside the octagon. Just like Fili, heโs wildly aggressive and can be expected to bring the fight to his opponent.
Either way, this one should be a surefire contender for this weekendโs 'Fight of the Night' award, and so itโs definitely a reason to check out the event.
#1. Marlon Vera has quietly become one of the UFCโs most entertaining fighters to watch

The most intriguing bout on tap at this weekendโs event is definitely the headline fight between bantamweights Rob Font and Marlon Vera. While Font is currently the higher ranked of the two, itโs arguably โChitoโ who makes this one a must-see clash.
Back when he debuted in the UFC in 2014 following a stint on the first season of TUF: Latin America, few fans expected the native of Ecuador to produce anything special. Not only has Vera become one of the most dangerous bantamweights on the roster, heโs become one of the most exciting, too.
Literally every time โChitoโ steps into the octagon, heโs looking to finish off his opponent in violent fashion. While heโs dropped decisions to the likes of Jose Aldo and Song Yadong, when he wins, it tends to come before the final buzzer.
In fact, Vera has only gone the distance in victory on two occasions since starting his career with the UFC. His other ten victims were all stopped in nasty fashion, including former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, who was viciously knocked out by a front kick last November.
Whether โChitoโ can defeat Font remains to be seen, but heโll almost certainly give it his all. If he can beat the Boston native, itโs unlikely that itโll come in a five-round decision. This fight, therefore, is one that fans should not take their eyes off.
