10 Welterweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2022

Losene “Black Panther” Keita

23 | 5’9″ | Konakry, Conakry, Guinea | 7-0 | 4 finishes | 4 KO/TKOs | Combined Opponents’ Record: 35-48 | Best Win – Karol Ryšavý (9-3)

Keita isn’t the most proven fighter but has a lot of potential. With each fight, he’s looked better and better. He recently debuted for the Czech Republic promotion Oktagon but before that was the WFL champion. WFL is a promotion out of the Netherlands owned/founded by MMA/Kickboxing/Bellator staple Melvin Manhoef.

He seems to be a well-rounded fighter who has no issue taking fights to the mat. Keita is more of a dangerous guy on the feet however. His speed, athleticism, and explosiveness is scary. He already has a fight scheduled in February and with a win there and a few more the UFC should take a look.
