Cédric Doumbé seems in the mood to fight. ‘The Best’ used social media to make a proposition to Baysangur Chamsoudinov ‘Baki’ and the PFL.
Cédric Doumbé said he was up for a fight against Baysangur Chamsoudinov, in a video broadcast by L’Equipe on Monday. The two French fighters are undefeated in MMA. Doumbé (31 years old), a great fan of “trash-talking”, has an eloquent record in kickboxing and is making his debut in mixed martial arts, while his potential opponent, “Baki” (22 years old), is a hope of this sport.
Cédric Doumbé is tired of talking. Indeed, the PFL resident is mentioned a lot on social networks at the moment and perhaps not in the way he would like. While he seeks to fight MMA legends such as Nate Diaz or Anthony Pettis, who he thought was up for the fight, his name is linked to a younger French MMA fighter, Baysangur Chamsoudinov.

“Eagles don’t fly with pigeons.” This is what Cédric Doumbé wants to prove by facing Baysangur Chamsoudinov, known as “Baki”. “I called David [Foucher, manager of Doumbé] and I told him: ‘Do me a favor, book Baki for the next fight at the PFL, that way they will understand,’” he said in a interview granted to L’Equipe and an extract of which was revealed this Monday. The prospect of such a duel between two of its representatives has been agitating the sphere of French MMA for weeks, more or less in the tone of fantasy, and seems to have materialized for a few hours.
“You want me to destroy the future of French MMA? I’m going to destroy it (…) Baki, you want me to extinguish it? I’m going to extinguish it, continued the former kickboxing world champion in this interview. For me, it’s all good: easy fight, ‘crazy-sick’ hype. All PSG will come! Even Marseille will come. And the sorrel… what more could you ask for? ” Doumbé (31 years) had dispatched Jordan Zebo in less than ten seconds at the Zénith (Paris), on September 30, in front of a stunned audience which included, in particular, Kylian Mbappé.
Only problem for the moment is that Baki fights on November 17 for the Ares welterweight title and ‘Doumced’ plays in the PFL. We will therefore have to wait to know whether negotiations will be launched or not. However, Doumbé has already warned his organization.
