\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAndre Fili discusses not going for extra shots in UFC Vegas 122 triumph<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Sometimes, you need to go out there and make a statement to remind the masses exactly who you are \u2013 and that\u2019s what Andre Fili did against Kai Kamaka III on Saturday night in emphatic fashion.<\/p>\n Andre Fili produced a stunning head kick knockout to get through Kai Kamaka III and prove that he has a lot of gas left in the tank. Following the kick, Fili had the opportunity to land a few extra shots on the ground before the referee stepped in, but he opted not to do that.<\/p>\n It may not seem like a controversial move to avoid the extra shots, but a lot of fighters will just keep going until the referee pulls them off. For Andre Fili, though, that isn\u2019t the right move, and he would much rather hold off.<\/p>\n Following the event, Andre Fili had the following to say about what went down in Vegas.<\/p>\n \u201cI say this all the time: I\u2019m a criminal, but I\u2019m not a piece of sh*t, you know what I mean?\u201d Fili said. \u201cI don\u2019t litter. I treat people with respect. When I knock someone out, there\u2019s no reason to land that extra shot. Like, he\u2019s got kids, he\u2019s got a wife. He\u2019s got a future outside of fighting. It\u2019s just not necessary, man. I hope he\u2019s OK. I didn\u2019t really even want to watch the replay back.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know, hurting people is part of the sport. I like being good at fighting. I like winning fights. I like getting paid to win fights. I like being on TV. Hurting people is a byproduct of that. It\u2019s not a driving force for me. So yeah, I\u2019m not going to land that extra shot.\u201d<\/p>\n Quotes via MMA Junkie<\/p>\n For Fili, it\u2019s all about going out there and putting on a show \u2013 and it will certainly be exciting to see what he can keep producing as he bids to continue his role as one of the mainstays of the Apex, which he said he absolutely loves during an appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show.<\/p>\nAndre Fili reflects on big return to form<\/h2>\n
