Cédric Doumbè, French MMA fighter, appeared in the opening part of comedian Redouane Bougheraba’s show on Thursday at the Accor Arena in Paris.
Cédric Doumbè made an unexpected return to the Accor Arena on Thursday. Three weeks after his victory in the first round against Englishman Jaleel Willis at Bellator, the fighter appeared on stage as the opening act for Redouane Bougheraba’s show. The Marseille comedian extended an invitation to him during their joint appearance on the show Clique on Canal+ at the beginning of the month. Doumbè accepted it with ease.
He asks forgiveness from “all the Jordans of France”, including Bardella
This great lover of trash-talking took the microphone for a few minutes with self-deprecation, referring in particular to his TKO defeat against Baysangur “Baki” Chamsoudinov due to a splinter in the foot, on March 7, in Bercy Already.
“It’s crazy what’s happening, I’m at Bercy with shoes, this time, in front of the Redouane audience, only guys from Tess (cited, in verlan), so it’s a bit like my audience , too, and it makes me really happy to be there,” he told the 13,000 spectators in comments reported by Le Parisien. “I’m here in front of you, barely three weeks after my assassination, when I beat the guy in the first round with the sound of La Fouine in the room.”
The former kickboxing world champion (11 times) then made his presentations to people in the public who did not know him. He had fun with this particular “reconversion” before making an allusion to the very heavy political news of the moment with a reference to Jordan Bardella, member of the far-right National Rally party which came first in the last European elections. He thus apologized to all “the Jordans of France”, collateral victims of his repeated attacks against Jordan Zebo (with his phrase “Jordan, you’re dead”), whom he had beaten after nine seconds of fighting in November 2023.
“Are there any Jordans in the room?” he asked. “Guys, I’m sorry, and girls too, maybe there are girls named Jordan, I’m really sorry. I know you’ve been through hell. And with what’s going on in At this moment, I particularly want to apologize to Jordan Bardella And guys, I don’t want any problems Jordan, think of me, especially since the daronne doesn’t have the papers at the moment!
