"I did my part, but my opponent didn't do his. I was called on short notice, traveled, dealt with jet lag and made weight. My opponent was at home, had 3 more hours to try and chose not to. I really would like to fight on the UFC Rio card. I'll face anyone who makes weight @UFC,"
"I'm absolutely sure he didn't try going to the bath tub [to cut more weight]. There's plenty of ways. He was surrounded by kids. There was no one older to put him in place, 'Stay there, go make weight'. At 9am he weighed in, he was over, and instead of trying until 11am, which is the limit, he was eating baby food. F*ck you, man. If you want to blame anyone, blame my opponent. Black Panther? He's Fat Panther."
Losene Keita missed weight by three pounds for his scheduled UFC Paris featherweight debut, prompting the promotion to remove his bout with Patricio Pitbull. Keita entered the fight at 16-1 and had never missed weight in his professional career, previously holding titles at 145 and 155 pounds. Patricio Pitbull, who weighed in and traveled on short notice, expressed strong frustration that Keita did not use the full weigh-in window to attempt a further cut. Pitbull publicly called for a rebooking or another opponent who makes weight, and he called out Arnold Allen for UFC Rio.
