US Edition"Go F*** Yourself" - Patricio Pitbull Blasts Losene Keita, Claims Rival Didn't Try to Cut Weight After Fight's Cancellation
Losene Keita missed weight by three pounds for his UFC debut, leading to the cancellation of his fight against Patricio Pitbull after Pitbull refused a catchweight bout.
- Losene Keita weighed in at 149 pounds during the UFC Paris weigh-in on September 5, exceeding the featherweight limit by three pounds and resulting in the cancellation of his fight against Patricio Pitbull.
- The fight was canceled because Keita did not make an effort to lose additional weight following his 9 a.m. weigh-in, and Pitbull declined any catchweight option, citing concerns about professionalism.
- Patricio Pitbull expressed strong disappointment, accusing Keita of not trying and described seeing him eat banana puree instead of continuing to cut weight before the 11 a.m. deadline.
- Patricio Pitbull, a 38-year-old former Bellator champion with a 37-8 record, expressed his frustration on X by holding his opponent responsible for missing weight and affirmed his willingness to compete against anyone who makes weight in the UFC.
- The cancellation denies Pitbull a key opportunity to cement UFC featherweight status, while Keita’s future plans remain uncertain and UFC officials have not indicated if the bout will be rescheduled.
