Patricio Pitbull's Outburst Against Losene Keita

Patricio Pitbull is fuming, and it's all aimed at Losene Keita. The highly anticipated featherweight showdown between these two former champions, Pitbull from Bellator and Keita from Oktagon, was slotted for UFC Paris this Saturday, but a last-minute weight issue has turned the matchup into a complete fiasco.

Weight Controversy Derails Highly Anticipated Fight

When Keita stepped on the scale and tipped 149 pounds—over the 145-pound limit—Pitbull decided to withdraw from the fight, refusing to face an opponent he deemed unprepared. In a video released by the UFC, he expressed his frustration, stating, "He claimed he was faster, stronger, and younger. I gave him all the advantages, but I wouldn't let him get this one."

Accusations Fly: Pitbull Calls Out Keita's Commitment

Pitbull didn’t hold back, asserting that Keita had plenty of time to shed the excess weight but instead chose to indulge in 'baby food.' "I'm sure he didn’t try to cut weight properly. Instead, he was surrounded by kids, eating instead of focusing on the scale," Pitbull fired back. He dubbed Keita 'Fat Panther,' suggesting that his opponent was irresponsible and lacked the discipline needed for a fighter.

Looking Ahead: Pitbull Eager for Next Fight in Rio

With this contest now off the table, Pitbull isn't wasting any time licking his wounds. After a split record of 1-1 in his recent outings—having lost to Yair Rodriguez but bouncing back against Dan Ige—Pitbull is ready for action. He has expressed interest in joining the UFC’s upcoming event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on October 11.

In a post on social media, Pitbull stated, "I did my part. I traveled, faced jet lag, and made weight. My opponent had more than three hours to get it right but chose not to. I want to fight anyone who can actually make weight."

The Legacy Continues

Pitbull made it clear that for him, this isn't just about money—it's about legacy. As he gears up for his next challenge, fans are left wondering who will step up to face the fierce competitor. Will it be anyone who passes the scale test? Only time will tell.
