No, it's not a Shara Bullet thread but hoping to manifest the same result. There probably is not a better prospect in all of MMA right now that isn't already signed to a major promotion (KSW, UFC, Bellator, ONE, ACA, PFL). Coming out of Guinea Africa, Losene Keita's raw athleticism reminds me of a young Jose Aldo. A Featherweight himself and only 25 years old at 11-0 Keita is fighting out of Belgium and is the Belgian promotion Oktagon's double champ, interim at Featherweight and official at Lightweight. These guys he's beating, he's absolutely destroying, the level of speed, power and athleticism is pretty rare.
His last three opponents all got beaten to a pulp and knocked out, he fought yesterday vs Jakub Tichota who was a 5-1 pro and 14-5 amateur from the Czech republic
Prior to the Tichota massacre, Losene Keita fought Sweden's Samuel Bark also known as Sammon Dekkers, Bark got that nickname fighting in Thailand where he was well respected reaching a top 10 rank and even training out of a Thai only gym. Samuel bark made the transition from Muay Thai to MMA at 27 and was 8-1 going into his bout with Keita.
here's a highlight real of Samuel Bark's muay thai career so you can better appreciate what Losene Keita does to him.
and then here's the fight between Samuel Bark and Losene Keita. (skip to 8:50 for the start of the fight)
And lastly prior to the Samuel Bark bludgeoning Keita fought long time MMA veteran 39-7 Ivan Buchinger, finishing him in violent fashion
I'm not going to lie, this has a bit of a Conor McGregor circa Cagewarriors vibe to it. Keita is one of those prospects I'm relatively certain if you dropped into the top 10 of the UFC he'd hold his own, if not contend.
