It seems that Cédric Doumbé is determined to seek revenge against Baki, the opponent who still evokes feelings of anger in Doumbé after their controversial defeat in March. The former Glory champion expressed his desire for retribution through several posts on social media.
In one of the videos he shared on Instagram Story, Doumbé asked, “Do you really want me to break his jaw?” He expressed his refusal to accept that disputed defeat, as the outcome of the fight continues to spark debate. Despite the passage of time, Doumbé has not stopped contemplating a revenge match, hinting that the story between them is not yet over.
Doumbé added sarcastically in the video: “I have a game plan that even a fork can’t disrupt.” He clarified his desire for a second bout against Baki, specifying his conditions: he wants the fight to be 5 rounds, and also at the famous “Parc des Princes” stadium in Paris.
In a tweet by Cédric Doumbé:

The Reason Behind His Request for 5 Rounds
Doumbé believes that fighting for 5 rounds will clearly demonstrate who is the best. He said, “In one round, you can run, in two rounds, you can run, in 3 rounds, you might keep running, but in 5 rounds… if you run, it will show everyone who you really are.” He added directly to Baki: “Then everyone will see that you don’t deserve respect.”
Baki’s Quick Response
Baki was quick to respond, his comment coming swiftly in reaction to those statements, increasing the tension between them. However, it’s worth noting that the revenge fight has not yet been confirmed. Baki is scheduled to face Baysangur Chamsoudinov at Bellator Paris on November 16, while Doumbé is also expected to return to the cage before the end of the year.
Questions remain about the possibility of a revenge match in 2025. Will we finally see another showdown between Doumbé and Baki that concludes this thrilling story?
