Doumbe's quick sequence of moves
Doumbe, a former kickboxing champion, caught a kick from his opponent Jordan Zebo and swiftly followed it up with a left hook, causing Zebo to drop to the ground. Doumbe then proceeded to deliver ground and pound strikes, leading the referee to wave off the contest in the nick of time.
Mbappe's gobsmacked reaction
Mbappe, who experienced a goalless draw with his PSG side against Clermont Foot, was visibly shocked by the outcome of Doumbe's victory.
Doumbe's impressive display
Doumbe, who recently joined the Professional Fighters League (PFL), expressed his satisfaction with his preparation for the fight, claiming it was one of his best. He confidently stated that while he didn't anticipate a win in just ten seconds, he was confident his opponent wouldn't make it out of the first round. Due to an injury, Doumbe was unable to participate in the PFL's $1 million season, but he is expected to compete in the following year's season.
Next fight plans for Doumbe
Doumbe, who declined to mention specific opponents, asserted that he never rejects a fight and that anyone who wishes to face him must call him out instead.
