Interview with Losene Keita below


OKTAGON MMA lightweight champion Losene Keita (9-0) discusses his drop to 145-pounds against Samuel Bark (8-1) at OKTAGON 39: Munich on Feb. 11.

Keita spoke about training at MMA Factory with Ciryl Gane, why he hasn’t fought since June of last year and how he’s not worried about being called up to the UFC.

“Things like that I’m not thinking too much about the UFC right now. Even (my) record, I’m not thinking about it. If I’m thinking too much about it, it will be too much pressure on me. Every fight in my head is 0-0. The only thing that matters for me is beating this guy.”
