Losene Keita’s planned featherweight match against Patricio Pitbull on UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs. Borralho in Paris has been official cancelled Because Keita misses the contracted weight limit. This development was announced after the early weighting of Friday morning in the Accor Arena, where Keita, a two-division Octagon champion and one of the most expected newcomers of the UFC, registered on 149 pound-three pounds above the non-title Vareve-Weight threshold.
Losene Keita Waegdails
Keita’s weight management trouble Was visible during the morning -weighing session prior to the map of 6 September. UFC and event officials quickly moved and announced the cancellation of the competition, about thirty minutes after Keita got on the scale. Fighters usually get an extra period to try to make weight; However, the shortage in this case was considered insurmountable and the planned competition was removed from the line -up.
Patricio Pitbull, a former Federweight Bellator champion, is said to have made the contracted limit, although neither of them had issued public statements with regard to the outcome.
Event Impact
This cancellation is an important shift in the UFC Paris card, which had included the Pitbull-Keita matchup as a striking attraction. Losene Keita, whose aggressive approach and international family tree championship give rise to high expectations for his debut, will not compete as planned.
Pitbull, a respected veteran with a decorated history in large promotions, loses an opportunity to further strengthen its presence in the UFC -Fedweight Division. The organization and fans had shown a lot of interest to see how Keita’s skills would translate into this stage.
The featherweight cancellation also comes in the midst of other late changes in the event. Lightweight rates Ziam was removed from his fight against Kaue Fernandes, with Cage Warriors featherweight champion Harry Hardwick who stepped in his UFC debut.
Main and Co-Main Events
Despite the disruption, UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs. Borralho will continue with his planned attacks. The main event contains Nassourdine Imavov versus unbeaten Caio Borralho in a competition with title implications for the middleweight division. The Co-Main event includes light weights Benoit Saint Denis and Mauricio Ruffy. Extra similarities contain remarkable names such as Modestas Bukauskas, Paul Craig, Bolaji Oki, Mason Jones, Axel Sola and Rhys McKee, maintaining a competitive line -up for the Paris audience.
From Friday, the current plans of Losene Keita will remain uncertain after the missed weight and combat cancellation. UFC officials have not indicated whether the competition will be planned again or whether Keita will be obliged to compete in another weight class. Pitbull, which is approaching the later stages of his career, can look for other opportunities within the division.
