Losene Keita, a future star of the UFC or the PFL, the two biggest organisations in the world of MMA? If he keeps up this momentum, the Conakry native should soon outgrow Oktagon, the Italian promotion where he became featherweight champion overnight. He had the chance to be king of the division last July. But during his fight against Georgia's Mate Sanikidzé, he broke his leg and was declared the loser. It was his first defeat in the cage after 11 straight wins.

Overnight, Losene Keita made up for it in fine style. The man who has lived in Belgium since the age of 11, when he left Guinea, destroyed German Niko Samsonidse to finally take back the featherweight belt. He knocked him out with a huge punch in round 2. It is a prestigious win that takes Losene Keita to 12 victories and 1 defeat, and above all brings him closer to the major MMA organisations in the United States.
