Cage Showdown
MMA star Cedric Doumbe has promised to deliver a brutal performance in his upcoming fight after facing ridicule following a controversial toe injury loss. Doumbe suffered defeat against French rival Baysangur Chamsoudinov in September, where he complained of a splinter in his foot during the bout. Despite signaling to the referee and requesting to check his foot, the fight was stopped, leading to Doumbe's dismay over the TKO decision.
Return to the Octagon
Now, Doumbe is set to face American fighter Jaleel Willis on Friday, May 17 at the Accor Arena in Paris. The 31-year-old is determined to prove himself in the cage once again and has expressed his readiness to take on Willis without any interruptions or excuses.
Fighting Words
In response to the mockery he faced over his toe injury, Doumbe has declared, "I was born to fight, I was born to knock people out. I will do what I do best, I will rip his head off, shut his mouth and send him back to the US." Willis, on the other hand, has confidently stated, "There's going to be hands in the cage, no splinters. It's going to be hands in the cage."
Proving His Mettle
Having transitioned from kickboxing to MMA with great success, Doumbe is eager to showcase his skills once again and silence his critics. With a record of 5-1 in the cage, he aims to make a statement in his upcoming bout and secure a decisive victory.
