The UFC later announced that the fight with Patricio Pitbull is now off \u201cdue to weight management issues\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Speaking with MMA Fighting earlier this week, Pitbull said he was \u201cconcerned\u201d of that possibility since that would be Keita\u2019s first fight at 145 pounds since 2023, and \u201cI heard gossip that he was walking at 170 pounds when he agreed to the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With the fight now cancelled, Pitbull went off in a quick video posted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UFCBrasil\/status\/1963908134126211353\" rel=\"nofollow\">UFC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cHe said in an interview he was faster, stronger, younger,\u201d Pitbull said. \u201cI gave him all the advantages besides allowing this fight to happen here in Paris. He drove two hours to get here so there was no suffering. His weight was low, he got here at 163 just like I did. \u2026 He had all the advantages and still didn\u2019t make weight, so I wouldn\u2019t give him that advantage. At this stage I don\u2019t fight for money anymore, I fight for legacy, and I won\u2019t give him this guy that advantage. Unfortunately the fight won\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI\u2019m absolutely sure he didn\u2019t try going to the bath tub [to cut more]. There\u2019s plenty of ways [to try]. He was surrounded by kids. There was no one older to put him in place, \u2018Stay there, go make weight\u2019. At 9 am he weighed in, he was over, and instead of trying until 11 am, 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\u2019s Fat Panther.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Check the official UFC Paris weigh-in results below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">*Keita missed weight by three pounds.
