Watch Andre Fili nearly die from a cough attack before talking to us about acting

Andre Fili had some interesting things to talk about prior to his featherweight bout with Myles Jury at UFC on ESPN 1.

For starters, since Fili joined the UFC in 2013, he’s never fought more than twice a year and said that’s something he wants to change, which he went into great detail with MMAjunkie’s John Morgan at media day in Phoenix, even adding that he plans to “annoy Sean Shelby” after UFC on ESPN 1. Fili also talked about first acting gig for the upcoming film “Green Fever” – which has an amazing plot synopsis by the way – and went into detail about honing his acting skills while on set.

But you ever get that tickle in your throat that just won’t go away? About a minute into our interview, Fili did – and it got him good. But he recovered thankfully LOL.

You can check it out in the video above.
