Andre Fili has often said that Team Alpha Male has saved his life, and he just made a gesture that proves it.
He got his mentor and Team Alpha Male founder Urijah Faber tattooed on his leg, joining the vast array of creative ink on his body. The detailed image of Faber’s face is placed on his lower leg, and Fili took to Instagram to show off his new tattoo.
He got pretty “Touchy” Fili with his emotions in the message he posted along with it.

Faber immediately responded, reposting Fili’s video and sharing his own sentimental message, showing his gratitude.
“What a crazy surprise @touchyfili, pumped to see my face, kick other people’s face . It’s inspiring to watch people change their own lives, and then the people around them. I’ve witnessed @touchyfili making an impact on everyone around him! Rare to get a tribute like this, the @outcasts_underdogs have their own way of showing gratitude. Honored to have been impactful in someone’s life, and love watching it getting paid forward. @teamalphamalemma@stevebutchertattoos –
