VIDEO | UFC Paris star Losene Keita pleads with Patricio ‘Pitbull’ to fight at catchweight after botched weight cut

VIDEO | Patricio ‘Pitbull’ gives cold-blooded response to Losene Keita’s catchweight proposal
Just minutes after Keita missed weight, he attempted to coax Freire into moving the bout to a catchweight to move forward with the fight. But Keita’s plan didn’t pan out as he expected.

Watch Keita and Freire’s backstage conversation below, as shared by Patricky ‘Pitbull’ on Instagram.

As of this writing, Keita’s place on the UFC roster remains secure, although it’s uncertain when the matchmakers will reschedule his promotional debut. As for what’s next for Freire, he called for a matchup with Arnold Allen on the upcoming UFC Rio card, headlined by Charles Oliveira vs. Rafael Fiziev.

Freire was looking to get on a UFC win streak after notching his first promotional win in July at UFC 318 over Dan Ige. He lost his UFC debut to former interim titleholder, Yair Rodriguez at UFC 317.

Keita has won five fights in a row, although he hasn’t competed since a second-round TKO victory at Oktagon 65 last December.
