Five months after his quick victory against Jordan Zebo, MMA fighter Cédric Doumbè will face Baissangour “Baki” Chamsoudinov on March 7 in Paris for his second fight in the “Professional Figthers League,” the organization announced Thursday.
The PFL “announces today that the 2024 PFL Europe season will be kicked off by undefeated global superstar Cédric 'The Best' Doumbè (5-0) headlining against undefeated Baissangour 'Baki' Chamsoudinov (8- 0) at the Accor Arena in Paris on Thursday March 7,” writes the American league in a press release. A great kickboxing champion, Cédric Doumbè, 31, made the jump to mixed martial arts in 2021 and quickly established himself as one of the most popular French MMA fighters.
He made his debut with the PFL on September 30 by shutting out his compatriot Jordan Zebo in just nine seconds. French fans have been waiting for a long time for a clash between Doumbè and “Baki”, 22 years old, another fighter particularly appreciated by the French public. The two men had been attacking each other on social networks for several months. “You now know the identity of my next victim,” Doumbè said on his social networks, true to his reputation as a “trashtalker”. “Friends, when I promise a butchery you know very well that I always take responsibility. It’s going to be a public execution, he’s going to really understand what it’s like to be in front of DOUMBÈ.”
