Keita Gets His Walk-Off Moment
The official UFC recap described Keita hurting Naimov with one of his first clean shots, dropping him with a jab, and then ending the sequence with a right hook before jumping the fence and taking a seat in the front row.
Keita improved to 17-2 with the win and secured his first UFC victory. Naimov fell to 13-5 after the stoppage, ending a short night that gave Paris another loud result before the bigger French assignments later on the main card.
The result followed a busy prelim run that included Pavel Andrusca upsetting Nathaniel Wood and pushed the event closer to Dan Hooker vs. Salahdine Parnasse. Keita did not need much time to separate himself. One clean round was enough.
