Losene Keita has taken aim at Ronald Paradeiser, sending venomous swipes in the 155-pound champion's direction ahead of the Oktagon MMA Tipsport Gamechanger final.
The fierce rivals will go head-to-head on December 29 at the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.
Blessed with thunderous power and an innate fighting IQ, Losene Keita has solidified his place as one of the most fearsome competitors in Europe.
Having scaled the Oktagon mountain in two weight classes, he’s become a hero to fans across the continent.
Now, he’s determined to write the next chapter of his story by winning the Tipsport Gamechanger.
With a combined prize pot of €1M at stake, 16 of the continent’s best fighters went head-to-head for ultimate supremacy.
Now, only two remain — Keita and his adversary Ronald Paradeiser.
At Oktagon 61, they both produced excellent performances, with the two-weight King cruising past Mateusz Legierski, while the Slovakian destroyed Acoidan Duque.
The final, between Keita and his arch nemesis, which is set to have a whopping €300,000 on the line, will serve as a major rematch, with the Belgian having walked away with the bragging rights last time.
However, at the Oktagon 61 post-fight press conference, Paradeiser insisted he’s drastically improved since their first meeting.
But Keita scoffed at the comments, playing down his rival’s abilities, adding that he’s been watching him very closely since the last time they battled it out.
He told MMA TV Live: “Trust me, since our last fight, I’ve been stalking this guy. So, I think I know him better than he knows himself. I only need thirty seconds to see Paradeiser, and I know how I can beat him. Trust me, I will beat him.”
With a wry smile, Paradeiser replied: “Thirty seconds ay?”
