Overview
- Multiple MMA outlets reported on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026 that Andre Fili and Kai Kamaka III are expected to fight on Oct. 10 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
- Those reports cite unnamed sources to MMA Junkie and appear on updated Fight Night card listings, but the UFC has not officially confirmed the matchup.
- Fili is a long-tenured UFC featherweight who has been on the roster since 2013 and has lost three of his past four fights, including a stoppage in June.
- Kamaka returned to the UFC in April after nearly five years, won his comeback, then suffered a first-round TKO loss in July and carries a mixed record in his second stint.
- Outlets describe the bout as a veteran ‘reset’ fight with roster and card-placement consequences for the loser, and the booking could still change until the promotion announces it.
