The Bellator Champions Series: Paris ceremonial weigh-ins were nothing short of chaotic thanks to [autotag]Cedric Doumbe[/autotag] and [autotag]Jaleel Willis[/autotag], who were raring to go at each other.
In front of a raucous crowd of French fans, a tense scene played out as Doumbe and Willis had to be restrained by Dan Hardy and security on multiple occasions. It all started when Willis couldn’t even wait for Doumbe to step on the scale before approaching him. The two fighters were heated as they came nose to nose before Willis delivered a hard shove to Doumbe.
From that point on, all hell broke loose. Watch in the video below (via X):
