10 UFC Fights To Watch In July
10. Andre Fili Vs. Sheymon Moraes - UFC Fight Night 155
As a fighter, inconsistency can be as much of a career killer as losing fights on a regular basis. UFC featherweights, Andre Fili and Sheymon Moraes, have both fell victim to this in their careers. This makes their fight even more important as it gives one of them the opportunity to push on up the rankings, while putting the loser closer to a pink slip.
Fili has always been an extremely game fighter, but he seems to let his emotions take control and often loses fights because of this. However, when he's able to fully focus on his gameplan, he's quite a formidable opponent. Decent boxing, mixed with an improving kicking game and a solid grappling foundation makes him a sizeable threat.
Moraes is no joke though, especially when it comes to his striking. His Muay Thai is savage and if he's able to gather enough momentum, he becomes extremely difficult to stop. However, his wrestling has been a little bit suspect at times. If Fili is able to use his takedowns and get Moraes to the mat, the path to victory could be far easier for him.
