What a fight. Keita had to dig deep to survive, something we haven't seen from him. I think it's gonna be 29-28 Keita, but Sardari took him to the limit. #OKTAGON57

Holy shit. Sardari has Keita on wobbly legs. Biggest moment of the fight for Sardari
Moments of success in R2 for Sardari but phenomenal grappling shown by Keita and the pressure resumed. When Losene lands it's just a different level of power. Should be 2-0 for him. #OKTAGON57
Constant pressure from Keita in R1 forcing Sardari to react. Those body shots were the standout for me. Sardari wisely attacking that formerly broken leg #OKTAGON57
