A video on Friday to announce this news and to express frustration about everyone who asks when he would sign with them. The 27-year-old born in Guinea, but living and training in Kortrijk, Belgium, leaves the limits of the Octagon Cage on a win of five fights for most of his life. Note that Keita participated in the 16-man tournament of the promotion from May 2024, and he won it all in December to get a belt in a second weight class.

From Octagon to The Octagon: The Losene Keita Story

For the first time, the former welterweight claimed the interim light weight band of Oatsagonon in 2022 from Ronald Paradeiser, where he united it a few months later against Ivan Buchinger. The unbeaten hunter then fell to 145 pounds and took the belt in two fights, and claimed the interim variety of that title in 2023. He defended or united who, as a leg injury for 68 seconds in his match with partner Sanikidze, cold water on his success story.

The Belgian bounced back less than five months later by scoring the leash of featherweight, one that was left by Sanikidze when he moved to Bantam weight. Since December 2023 he has not fought for that belt anymore. In the meantime, he plowed through the Octagon light weight in the period of seven plus months and AGY Sardari, Predrag Bogdanovic and Mateusz Legierski used to reach the final and the championship belt. A rematch with paradeiers served as his second coronation at 155 pounds. There is currently no date or location for Keita’s debut, although it was suggested that he will compete at 145 pounds in the UFC.
