Featherweights Lando Vannata, Andre Fili to Clash at UFC Event on Sept. 17

A featherweight showdown pitting Lando Vannata against Andre Fili is on tap for an Ultimate Fighting Championship card on Sept. 17.

Fili confirmed the booking on social media following an initial report from MMAjunkie.com. The UFC Fight Night card does not yet have a location or headliner.

Vannata’s first bout of 2022 did not go as planned, as “Groovy” suffered a first-round submission loss to Charles Jourdain at UFC Fight Night 205 on April 23. The Jackson’s MMA Acoma member is 4-6-2 in the Las Vegas-based promotion and will be making his third appearance at 145 pounds after previously competing at lightweight.
