Overview

  • According to MMA News citing Maîtres Fumiers on Instagram, Pitbull is expected to face promotional newcomer Losene Keita at UFC Paris on September 6, though the UFC has not formally confirmed the bout.
  • Keita, a two-division OKTAGON champion with a 16-1 record and a five-fight win streak, reportedly signed his UFC contract last Friday after defending his lightweight title by second-round TKO in December.
  • Pitbull, a former Bellator two-division titleholder, is coming off a hard-fought decision win over Dan Ige at UFC 318 and holds a professional record of 37-8 with 24 stoppage victories.
  • The reported featherweight matchup would take place on the card headlined by Nassourdine Imavov vs. Caio Borralho at Paris’s Accor Arena, which also features Benoît Saint Denis vs. Mauricio Ruffy on the main card.
  • Until the UFC issues an official announcement, details remain subject to change as the promotion has yet to verify the social-media report.
