Doumbé will fight as part of the “Bellator Champions Series Paris”, according to a press release sent to AFP by the organization, Bellator having become a franchise of the PFL, the American mixed martial arts league, since last November. The Frenchman (welterweight), who has five wins and one loss, “has also signed an exclusive, multi-year contract extension with the PFL and will make his debut for Bellator immediately after his participation in PFL Europe Paris,” the press release indicates. . Derek Anderson (17 wins, 4 losses), 34 years old and nicknamed “Barbaric”, has won in three of his last four appearances in Bellator. Cédric “The Best” Doumbé, 31, will therefore make his return to the Accor Arena in Paris-Bercy, for the first time since his fight, organized by the PFL and lost against Baysangour “Baki” Chamsoudinov on March 7, for a case of a splinter in the foot.
