UFC Fight Night Prediction: Andre Fili vs. Bill Algeo
Andre Fili comes into this fight with 2 straight losses. Those losses really don't define the kind of fighter he is. He lost a very close with Bryce Mitchell and just looked horrible last fight versus Brito. Fili has all the talent in the world. He just at times freezes when he is in the Octagon. But there is no question who the most talented fighter in this fight and that's Fili. But Bill Algeo is a gunslinger and not afraid of the moment. He is stepping in on a couple of weeks' notice after just fighting in July.
Fili has all the tools in the world. He has the reach, some solid take-down defense, and some very good striking. The biggest concern for Fili is his chin. Fili's chin has let him down last fight. But in reality, before that, he actually held up well. Algeo is one of those brawlers who keeps coming at you all fight. Algeo will not quit and that's for sure. But in this fight, Fili has all the advantages in my opinion. He is a way better striker than Algeo and he will be able to defend off the take-down attempts from Algeo. Everyone can be like, "oh Algeo beat Brito and Fili lost to Brito." But in reality, Fili needs to come into this fight with something to prove. A loss here and he is out of the UFC.
I really expect us to see Andre Fili's full potential tonight. He is one loss away from seeing the streets. Fili will use his length and reach advantage this whole fight to keep Algeo at distance and pick him apart. I really can't see Algeo having much success tonight versus Fili. If I had to pick an exact outcome, I can see Fili by KO or decision. But I'm riding Andre Fili Moneyline tonight.
