Lately there has been a lot of talk about some big names that sign or return to the UFC.
The promotion recently signed Losene Keita, one of the most popular free agents in sport after fans called him to appear in the Octagon.
It now seems that the UFC has quickly set plans for him to make his debut next month in UFC Paris, where Keita is said to be confronted with Patricio Pitbull.
In the meantime, another recent addition to the selection will have to wait a long time before he continues his career if he is still signed with the promotion.

Alvin Hines apologizes and admits that he lied in a statement after receiving a suspension of drugs
On UFC 317 in June, Alvin Hines was defeated by Jhonata Diniz in the first loss of the career of the heavyweight when making his UFC debut in the short term.
Although he had hoped to have earned his first victory in the Octagon next time to hold his place on the Roster, he may no longer get this chance.
The UFC issued a statement on 15 August to announce that anti-doping of athletes is fighting [CSAD] Hines had suspended for a year because of a violation of the anti-doping policy of the promotion.
'Goozie' tested positively on anabolic steroids drostanolon and testosterone in outside competition tests, where the explanation clearly wrote that he consumed these substances before he was signed in the promotion, but did not announce this.
Hines seemed to explain himself in a self -declaration on social media, where he stated that before he was briefly informed in the UFC, he retired.
The heavyweight admitted that he had lied about this when he participated in the promotion and had the full debt for his actions, in the hope that he will get the chance for a second chance.
“Yes, I lied. Yes, I accept the consequences I have served. Yes, I am really sorry that I was disappointed.
Alvin Hines may not get the chance to prove himself in the UFC, even though he hopes in his statement
In the social media statement of Alvin Hines, he writes about wanting to have the opportunity to correct things with the UFC.
“Yes, if I get the chance, I promise that I never have to violate rules. I promise to be a great role model and athlete that represents the UFC. I promise that I will be an athlete on which the UFC can count. I promise that you will not regret giving a second chance.”
Although this still has to be confirmed by the promotion, a UFC selection -Tracker, which is fully automated, has claimed that Hines has been removed from the grid.
There is a chance that this could change as soon as his suspension ends, but given that he lost his debut before he tested positively, this does not seem like a likely result.
