Two months after his defeat against Baysangur “Baki” Chamsoudinov” on March 7, Cédric Doumbè will return to the Accor Arena cage on May 17. The famous French MMA fighter now linked for several more years with the PFL , will indeed appear on the Bellator program, in the co-main event against the American Derek Anderson” (34 years old).
“The Best” will once again rock the Accor Arena. Two months after his fight on March 7, lost (by TKO in the third round) against Baysangur Chamsoudinov, known as “Baki”, because he was unable to go to the end of the fight due to a thorn in his foot , Cédric Doumbè (31 years old) will make his return to the cage of the famous Porte de Bercy enclosure on May 17. However, if the French MMA fighter has signed an exclusive contract extension which now binds him to the PFL for several additional years – “Renewing Cédric Doumbe’s contract over several years was one of our priorities since he joined the PFL l “Cédric is one of the main reasons for our growth in France”, declared PFL CEO Peter Murray – it is not “Baki” that he will face on May 17 in this Accor Arena. it had filled in just… twenty minutes after ticket sales kicked off on the occasion of the last visit. The former multiple world kickboxing champion did not succeed in obtaining this revenge that he so hoped for against his young compatriot, who had, it is true, placed very clear conditions on the negotiating table (” It’s going to take money, elbows and maybe five rounds).
His opponent hasn’t fought in three years
For his first Bellator, Doumbè, whose fight will be offered as a co-main event (Editor’s note: The main event is the main fight during an MMA gala), will indeed try to return to success against American veteran Derek Anderson (34 years old), who has a record of 17 victories in 21 fights and has won as many times by knockout as by submission. It remains to be seen in what state of form Doumbè’s next opponent, nicknamed “Barbaric”, will present himself on May 17. The San Diego native, who has won three of his last four fights contested within the framework of Bellator, has in fact not competed in an official fight since May 7… 2021, and a defeat by doctor’s order against British star Michael “Venom” Page. The other co-main event of this Bellator on May 17 at the Accor Arena will pit the Russian Magomed Magomedov against the American Patrick “Patchy” Mix, the organization’s bantamweight champion. However, once again, the 16,000 faces of fans at the Accor Arena will be focused on Doumbè.
