Aaron Pico VS Losene Keita

Aaron Pico stopped Losene Keita by TKO (punches) at 1:14 of round one in a featherweight bout at UFC 333: Volkanovski vs. Evloev on October 24, 2026 in Abu Dhabi. Pico opened with a feint into a high-crotch single-leg takedown, and when the fight returned to the feet he landed a clean one-two followed by a right cross that dropped Keita in his tracks. Pico followed with a flurry of ground punches to force the stoppage. The finish was the first stoppage loss of Keita's professional career; the Belgian had entered the bout 17-2 with both previous defeats coming by decision.

Aaron Pico, the former Bellator star building his UFC case at featherweight, faces Losene Keita — a former Oktagon champion who stepped in short-notice after a stunning highlight-reel KO at UFC Paris. Both fighters carry real finishing power and losses on their UFC records they need to shake, making this a fight neither can afford to lose if they want to stay in the rankings conversation. Pico's sharp American boxing against Keita's heavy European power shots sets up a volatile exchange fight.
