Cedric Doumbe Calls for Anthony Pettis to Fight in Paris, Believes He Deserves Headlining Spot Over Title Matches

Cédric Doumbé, the face of French MMA, had a thrilling knockout victory in front of a raucous home crowd at Bellator Paris. However, there was one major issue – he wasn’t the main event of the evening. Despite his impressive performance, Doumbé was overshadowed by Bellator bantamweight champion Patchy Mix defending his title against Magomed Magomedov.

Feeling slighted by being placed lower on the card, Doumbé expressed his disappointment in not being the main event. He believes that his popularity and the reception from the French fans should have earned him top billing. Doumbé even missed the opportunity to deliver his famous post-fight line due to the rushed post-fight interview.

After his knockout win over Jaleel Willis, Doumbé faced off with former UFC champion Anthony Pettis, who expressed interest in fighting him in Paris. Doumbé believes that a fight of that magnitude belongs in France, where he can draw a massive crowd and truly showcase his skills.

Despite Pettis’ impressive resume, Doumbé remains unfazed and sees the fight as a dream come true. He views Pettis as a dangerous opponent, but is determined to add a victory over the former UFC champion to his record.

With talks of a potential matchup in the works, Doumbé is eager to prove himself against a seasoned veteran like Pettis. The prospect of facing off against a legend of the sport is a challenge that Doumbé eagerly anticipates and is ready to conquer.
