Losene Keita thrilled the fans at UFC Paris with a stunning highlight-reel finish, securing his first UFC victory in impressive fashion earlier tonight.
Keita looked to be in a flow state earlier tonight against Muhammad Naimov. The former two-division OKTAGON champion started pressing his opponent from the opening seconds, rocking him a couple of times and bloodying his face.
At the halfway mark of Round 1, Keita dropped Naimov with a left jab and also punished him on the ground with vicious elbows.
Once Naimov was back on his feet, Keita landed a clean right hook that sent “Hillman” to the shadow realm.
