He literally walked his words. Known for speaking profusely on social networks, fighter Cédric Doumbé has proven that he is not just a “smooth talker”. Saturday evening, during the PFL evening which brought together more than 6,000 spectators in Paris, he knocked out his opponent in 10 seconds under the eyes of Kylian Mbappé, his friend, present at the Zénith.
After an entrance and a presentation in his image, the native of Douala won his fight on the first contact with Jordan Zebo. The latter who missed his high kick in the action was countered by Doumbé with a left hook which sent him definitively to the mat.
A mattress for his opponent…
The former kickboxing champion could exult and roll the mechanics in the octagon with this quick victory which will further strengthen his popularity among MMA fans.
Because far from the great champions of the discipline, the 31-year-old fighter, close to Francis Ngannou, and who joined MMA mixed martial arts two years ago, has built a solid community of fans thanks to his clever mastery of social networks. Through Instagram stories or YouTube videos, Doumbé multiplies the “clashes” and demonstrates his qualities as a “trashtalker”.
For his fight against Zebo, Cédric Doumbé, who nicknamed himself “The Best”, for example, had a mattress delivered to his opponent, so that he could recover from the knockout he promised to inflict on him. A commercial operation with a bedding brand, but above all a promise kept.
