Watch Andre Fili knock out Sheymon Moraes at UFC Fight Night Sacramento

Share

Urijah Faber is the hometown hero coming out of retirement Saturday at UFC Fight Night Sacramento, but he's far from the only Northern California fighter represented at Golden 1 Center. 

Sacramento native Andre Fili (20-6-0) exceeded his "Touchy Fili" nickname with a first-round knockout of Sheymon Moraes (11-4-0) in their featherweight bout. 

Fili had Moraes on his heels with a right kick to the head before finishing him off. 

No fighter received louder cheers walking out to the octagon than Fili, who was part of the sixth preliminary fight of the night. Right away, he gave his fans a show as he attacked Moraes early and often.

After the victory, Fili was, well, feeling himself while the NorCal native got hyphy. 

Fans will have to wait for Faber to make his return later in the night, but Fili gave everyone an early performance to remember.
