The two French fighters are undefeated in MMA. Doumb\u00e9 (31 years old), a great fan of &#8220;trash-talking&#8221;, has an eloquent record in kickboxing and is making his debut in mixed martial arts, while his potential opponent, &#8220;Baki&#8221; (22 years old), is a hope of this sport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C\u00e9dric Doumb\u00e9 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.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\ude2aj\u2019vous aurais pr\u00e9venu \ud83e\ude78 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UQRZFG7hZl\">pic.twitter.com\/UQRZFG7hZl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; C\u00e9dric Doumb\u00e8 (@CedricDoumbe) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CedricDoumbe\/status\/1721287849062928804?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cEagles don\u2019t fly with pigeons.\u201d This is what C\u00e9dric Doumb\u00e9 wants to prove by facing Baysangur Chamsoudinov, known as \u201cBaki\u201d. \u201cI called David [Foucher, manager of Doumb\u00e9] and I told him: &#8216;Do me a favor, book Baki for the next fight at the PFL, that way they will understand,&#8217;\u201d he said in a interview granted to L&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;You want me to destroy the future of French MMA? I&#8217;m going to destroy it (\u2026) Baki, you want me to extinguish it? I&#8217;m going to extinguish it, continued the former kickboxing world champion in this interview. For me, it&#8217;s all good: easy fight, &#8216;crazy-sick&#8217; hype. All PSG will come! Even Marseille will come. And the sorrel&#8230; what more could you ask for? &#8221; Doumb\u00e9 (31 years) had dispatched Jordan Zebo in less than ten seconds at the Z\u00e9nith (Paris), on September 30, in front of a stunned audience which included, in particular, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Only problem for the moment is that Baki fights on November 17 for the Ares welterweight title and &#8216;Doumced&#8217; plays in the PFL. We will therefore have to wait to know whether negotiations will be launched or not. However, Doumb\u00e9 has already warned his organization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>C\u00e9dric Doumb\u00e9 seems in the mood to fight. \u2018The Best\u2019 used social media to make a proposition to Baysangur Chamsoudinov \u2018Baki\u2019 and the PFL.
