Cédric Doumbè knows how to create excitement, that’s an indisputable fact.
This Friday, the day after the announcement of his fight against Baysangur “Baki” Chamsoudinov, scheduled for March 7 at the Accor Hotel Arena, the French fighter proudly announced that all tickets for the event had been sold.
On Thursday, all the tickets put on sale on the Parisian venue platform had already found takers, which pushed the former kickboxing champion to compare himself to one of the biggest stars on the planet.
“Even Beyoncé doesn’t do that,” he wrote to announce that the evening had sold out in just 20 minutes.

This Friday morning, some precious keys were put back on sale by the PFL.
The tidal wave continued.
A waiting list has even been created in the event of new places sold or withdrawals.
However, these should be rare as the event is awaited by fans of the two men, who have continued to insult each other on social networks for several weeks.
However, we will have to wait seven weeks, and probably a few sessions of “trashtalking” of which Cédric Doumbè has the secret, to see the two men explain themselves.
Both undefeated in MMA, the two fighters have very different backgrounds.
While “The Best” had a brilliant career in kickboxing before moving to MMA, “Baki” is a pure product of this discipline, which is still recent in France.
At 22, he is considered one of the greatest French talents.
But despite his young age, the MMA Factory fighter is confident about his chances of victory.
“I find him overrated,” he assured.
On the feet, he is very strong, Glory champion, he has scored real knockouts, he hits really hard.
But I find that in MMA, there is room.
» To which Cédric Doumbè replied: “My name has nothing to do with his in the same sentence”.
Enough to already increase the pressure.
