Victor Wembanyama is having a good time before the Olympics. Present in Paris, while he is part of the expanded list announced by Vincent Collet, the coach of the French men’s team, this Thursday, the San Antonio Spurs player came to the Accor Arena this Friday to attend the Bellator Champions Series. The high point is inevitably the fight of Cédric Doumbè, who faces the American Jaleel Willis two months after his defeat against Baysangur “Baki” Chamsoudinov.
Victor Wembanyama is resting this month of May. Not qualified for the NBA playoffs with his Texan franchise, he returned to Paris to enjoy his family and begin his preparation for the very important deadline this summer: the Olympic Games. Voted rookie of the year in the American league, and second for defender of the year, behind his compatriot Rudy Gobert, he will be the centerpiece of the French team in Lille then in Paris.
The preparation of the Blues will begin on June 17. Until then, Victor Wembanyama intends to prepare but also have a good time. This Friday evening, it was MMA that he came to see. Arriving around 9 p.m., he was quickly spotted thanks to his 2.22 m height. The director also increased the number of close-ups on the Frenchman, all smiles, during the Yves Landu fight.
Follow the MMA evening and Cédric Doumbè’s fight live with commentary on the Parisien website.
