What will [autotag]Cedric Doumbe[/autotag] have in store for his second PFL appearance? Fans will soon find out.
Coming off an electrifying win in his promotional debut, Doumbe is set to return March 7 at PFL Europe 1, where he’ll take on fellow undefeated French welterweight [autotag]Baissangour Chamsoudinov[/autotag] in the night’s main event at Accor Arena in Paris.
A PFL official confirmed the matchup to MMA Junkie on Thursday.
Doumbe (5-0), a former Glory Kickboxing champion, had a scintillating PFL debut on Sept. 30 when he knocked out Jordan Zebo in just nine seconds. Following a theatrical walkout from Doumbe, the fight was over in an instant once he caught a high kick and hammered Zebo with a left hand and quick follow-up shots on the mat that led to the finish.
Doumbe figures to face a stern test in Chamsoudinov (8-0), who is coming over from Ares FC where he went 4-0. Chamsoudinov has three finishes in his career, including most recently against former “The Ultimate Fighter” winner Efrain Escudero by second-round knockout with punches.
