Analysis

Losène Keïta lost to Aaron Pico by first-round KO on October 24, 2026, at UFC 333. The Guinean-born featherweight carries a record of 17 wins and 3 losses, built after stints with two European promotions where he held titles in two divisions.

Born on December 30, 1997, in Conakry, Guinea, Losène Keïta later settled in Kortrijk, Belgium, where he trains at Lamiro Fight Club. He fought his first amateur bouts starting in 2017 on Belgian and Dutch cards, then turned professional in 2019 on the regional circuit, notably with Strength and Honour Championship, Atlas MMA and Team Bushido. Those early years let him build up wins before moving into more established Western European promotions, where his finishing rate stayed consistent across the weight classes he passed through.

Career in Europe, Then the UFC

Losène Keïta became World Fighting League welterweight champion in 2021, before joining Oktagon MMA in December of that year. There he won the lightweight title in 2022, then the featherweight title in 2023, before winning the promotion’s lightweight tournament in 2024, becoming the first fighter to hold two belts at once in Oktagon MMA history. The UFC announced his signing on August 15, 2025. A scheduled fight against Patricio Pitbull at UFC Paris in September 2025 was scrapped after he missed weight by three pounds. He finally made his promotional debut on March 21, 2026, losing a split decision to Nathaniel Wood. He bounced back on September 5, 2026, again in Paris, knocking out Muhammad Naimov in the first round, earning a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus. His next fight, on October 24, 2026, at UFC 333, ended in a first-round KO loss to Aaron Pico.

Fighting Style

Losène Keïta builds most of his record on punching power: 11 of his 17 professional wins came by KO or TKO, none by submission. His win over Muhammad Naimov, finished in under three minutes, shows his ability to end a fight in the first round against UFC-level opposition. His two most recent losses, to Nathaniel Wood and then Aaron Pico, in turn reveal the limits he faces against opponents equally capable of finishing fights quickly. His run through two different weight classes at Oktagon MMA, lightweight then featherweight, confirms a punching power that carried over from one division to the other.

Record

  • Professional record: 17 wins, 3 losses, 0 draws
