Losene Keita (born December 30, 1997) is a Belgian mixed martial artist. [1] He competes in Oktagon MMA, where he is the lightweight champion in his second reign and the featherweight champion.
Keita was born in Conakry, Guinea and lived there until he was 11. Then he moved with his family to Kortrijk in Belgium and lives there to this day. As a child, he played basketball and football. As a child, Keita had trouble dealing with emotions at school, which is why he constantly got into fights. Even on the streets, he got into a lot of trouble, which is why the police constantly showed up at his doorstep. All the bad things that Keita did led to him being imprisoned for four months. After he got out, he continued to get into street fights because of his reputation. In what was ruining his life, his street troubles saved his life in a way. A friend of Keita's saw talent in him, eventually inviting him to a mixed martial arts club. After some thought and consideration, Keita agreed to go there and after his first training session, he became addicted to the discipline of MMA. [2]
After two months of training, he had his first fight, having over eight amateur fights in total, after which he turned professional in 2019 because no one else would continue to fight him as an amateur. [2]
On March 5, 2019, in his professional debut, he defeated Gracjan Golebiowski by a decision at Strength & Honor Championship 15 in Dessel. Until his 6th professional fight, Keita fought exclusively in the welterweight and then lightweight, apart from some amateur fights. [3]
He won his second professional fight again on points, this time against Karol Michalak at Atlas MMA 6, which took place in the Netherlands. [4] [5]
In his last, third fight in 2019, Keita defeated the more experienced Soufiene Oudin by the same verdict at Ultimate Contest in December. [3]
Keita fought his next three fights for the Dutch promotion World Fighting League (WFL). He knocked out his opponents three times in the first rounds, including Tayron Chavarro, Raymond Jarman and Bartosz Gorczyca. Keita won the WFL welterweight championship by defeating Gorcyzca. [3]
In 2021, Keita signed with Oktagon MMA in the lightweight division. [6] In his debut for this promotion, Keita faced Karol Ryšavý on December 4, 2021, at Oktagon 29. He won the bout by knockout after less than three minutes of the first round. [7]
Keita faced former Oktagon MMA lightweight title contender, Ronald Paradeiser on February 26, 2022, at Oktagon 31. He won the bout by unanimous decision. [8]
Keita, being on a two-fight winning streak for Oktagon MMA, got a chance to fight for the title against the double champion in two weight categories (lightweight and featherweight), Ivan Buchnger. [9] At Oktagon 33 on June 4, 2022, he faced Buchinger for the lightweight title, winning it with a technical knockout after strong blows under the net. [10] [11]
Keita fought his next fight on his birthday in 2022 under Muay Thai rules, at Oktagon 38, in which he faced kickboxer Milan Paleš. There was no championship title at stake in the fight. [12] This fight was so even after three rounds that instead of a potential draw, it went to a fourth, overtime round, after which Keita won by unanimous decision. [13] [14]
Keita faced Samuel Bark on February 11, 2023, at Oktagon 39. He won the bout by TKO in the third round. [15] [16]
Keita was scheduled to face featherweight champion Mate Sanikidze on April 29, 2023, at Oktagon 42. However, Sanikidze withdrew due to a shoulder injury and was replaced by Jakub Tichota. Keita won the bout by TKO in the fourth round to win the interim featherweight title. [17]
The match between Keita and Sanikidze was rebooked on July 29, 2023, at Oktagon 45. [18] Keita lost the bout by TKO in the first round due to an unexpected foot injury. [19] [20]
In his next fight, Keita faced Niko Samsonidse for the Oktagon featherweight title on December 9, 2023 at Oktagon 50, he won the bout by TKO in the second round to win the title. [21] [22]
