BAD MMA News — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 22:25:45 +0000

Filed under: Featured , News , Radio Highlight , UFC , Videos In case it wasn’t clear when he broke out the ‘Billionaire Strut,’ Andre Fili clarifies that he wasn’t the least bit fazed by Conor McGregor ’s presence to support his UFC Fight Night 118 opponent.

But that wasn’t the only highlight of Fili’s evening. After his victory was announced, Fili sealed it by delivering a moving post-fight speech. And, before the fight even started, he made sure to capitalize on a high-profile presence when he used lightweight champ McGregor’s own gimmick to provoke him.
