Cédric Doumbè is back, but not in the cage. A true star of French MMA, “The Best” will take on a new role this Saturday, December 14 at PFL Lyon. While he will wait until the start of 2025, the Frenchman will have the role of talent scout. Sitting at the edge of the cage, he will judge eight young French fighters, and determine those who deserve a contract within the American organization.
In total, thirteen fights are planned, including four for this new concept of “Doumbè decides”. It will start at 5 p.m. with a duel between Claudio Pacella and Oscar Ownsworth. After a second fight, it will be Cédric Doumbè’s turn to enter the stage. The main card will begin at 8 p.m. with the European finals in four categories: flyweight for women, and bantamweight, lightweight and welterweight for men.
Finally, the three main fights will first pit Mickaël Groguhe against Lamine Sene, Patrick Haribora against Catalin Safta and Abdoul Abdouraguimov against Laureano Staropoli.
This PFL Lyon evening can be followed on DAZN from 5 p.m.
