Losene Keita’s scheduled featherweight bout against Patricio Pitbull at UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs. Borralho in Paris has been officially cancelled due to Keita missing the contracted weight limit. This development was announced after Friday morning’s early weigh-ins at the Accor Arena, where Keita, a two-division OKTAGON champion and one of the UFC’s most anticipated newcomers, registered at 149 pounds – three pounds above the non-title featherweight threshold.
