LINCOLN, Neb. – Andre Fili is branching out from his role as a UFC featherweight to be typecast on film. Prior to booking a fight against Michael Johnson at UFC Fight Night 135, Fili (18-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) signed on to “ Green Fever ,” a movie produced his longtime coach and friend, Team Alpha Male founder Urijah Faber. “He said, ‘I’ve got a role for a sketchy, weed trimming cousin,’” said Fili, who faces Johnson (17-13 MMA, 9-9 UFC) in the FS1-televised co-headliner of Saturday’s event at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.
