Fisher has been a standout player for the D.C. Defenders in the United Football League over the past two seasons. In the 10-game season, Fisher recorded impressive stats, including 33 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and seven sacks, one of which resulted in a strip-sack recovered by Fisher. His seven sacks secured him a tie for the second-highest number of sacks in the UFL.
Anthony Miller from Sports Illustrated mentioned that Fisher’s exceptional performance did not earn him a spot on the All-UFL Team. Miller highlighted Fisher’s exceptional pass-rushing skills and impact on quarterbacks throughout the season, emphasizing his seven sacks, 33 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and three pass breakups.

Miller argued that Fisher, despite sharing the second spot for sacks in the league, deserved recognition over other candidates like Chris Odom from the Houston Roughnecks for his efficiency and performance.
Before joining the Defenders, Fisher played college football at Villanova from 2017 to 2021, starting in 42 games and concluding his senior season with 51 tackles, four sacks, and an interception.
