Keita and Gamechanger? He beat Rony and Buki in the 70s, so it’s nothing that stands out for him, Novotny said

Losene Keita is one of the best fighters in the Octagon, if not the best. That’s also why it was a surprise that he was missing from the second series of the Tipsport Gamechanger project. Now, Ondrej Novotny has outlined whether he believes he will still be joining and talked about the second series of the project.

Losene Keita is one of the best fighters in the Oktagon, if not the best. That’s also why it was a surprise that he was missing from the second series of the Tipsport Gamechanger project. Now, Ondrej Novotny has outlined whether he believes he will still be joining and talked about the second series of the project.

As expected, Oktagon has announced the second series of the Tipsport Gamechanger project. This time it will be held at lightweight and we can look forward to both well-known Oktagon stars and world faces that are more than competitive.

“We knew from the beginning that we wanted to continue this if it was successful. After Tipsport evaluated it, we said we’re going to do it again,” promoter Ondrej Novotny told Hype-Cast.

But after the announcement came a rather big surprise, as Losene Keita is missing from the project. He has been winning fight after fight in the Oktagon, losing only to Mate Sanikidze, and that was due to an injury that left him unable to continue.

If he were in the Tipsport Gamechanger, he would definitely be the favorite. So why is he missing from it? Apparently he’s taking his time to think about it, as it would commit him to not fighting anywhere other than lightweight and project for a year.

“He walked the 70s, he actually beat Rony at 70, and Buki, so it’s nothing that stands out for him, and I think he can go just fine. And if we see him in that Tipsport Gamechanger, we’ll all be happy,” Novotny explained.

But after the announcement came a rather big surprise, because Losene Keita is missing from the project. He has been winning fight after fight in the Oktagon, losing only to Mate Sanikidz, and that was due to an injury that left him unable to continue.

Thus, he himself believes that he will eventually convince Keita. After all, he is similarly set with Ivan Buchinger, who also has an open door. However, at his age, he has to think more about whether it is worth it.
