Andre Fili – Kai Kamaka

Fighters' momentum

Fili was scheduled to compete in his third fight of 2026 after a close decision in March and a short-notice bout accepted in June; he lost to Vinicius Oliveira by TKO in the second round. Kamaka was returning after a fight in July, which he lost to Luke Riley by TKO in the first round; he had previously gone three rounds against Dakota Hope and Danny Chavez.

Both fighters have recent experience over three rounds. According to the FightingData compilation based on une source spécialisée, updated on 28 September 2026, Fili records 3.9 significant strikes landed per minute, 37.8% accuracy, 72% takedown défense, and 2.2 successful takedowns per 15 minutes; Kamaka records 5.5 strikes, 59.1%, 55%, and 1.4 takedowns per 15 minutes.

Fili has faced UFC opponents with a better combined UFC record according to this compilation, but the comparison of opposition and current form remains imperfect.

Preparation and physical condition

The official weigh-in was published by the UFC on October 9, 2026, and the fight remains on the card. The individual numerical weights are not readable on the page consulted.

No injury, medical issue, or training interruption has been confirmed by sufficiently direct and dated public information; the fighters’ physical condition on fight day and camp details remain unknown.

Context & news

Fili can exploit his roughly five-inch reach advantage, long-range striking, and 72% compiled takedown défense to keep the fight at distance and target a decision. Kamaka, on the other hand, can close that distance through his superior volume, 59.1% accuracy, pressure, and combinations, then force close exchanges or the cage.

The turning point is Fili’s ability to defend entries and exit the cage, versus Kamaka’s ability to convert his pressure without getting caught in wrestling exchanges. A decision is plausible for both sides; no relevant five-round experience is established, and the fight is scheduled for three rounds.
