Baki at the PFL for five fights, including one against Doumbé
It’s a question that the public was asking insistently: where was Baki going to sign? While rumors sent him to the UFC for a first fight in Paris on September 28, it is ultimately at the PFL that the Habs will show their talents. As announced by the media Maitres Fumiers, and confirmed by his brother and manager Rassoul Chamsoudinov, Baki will join the Professional Fighters League.
According to media information shared by his brother, Chamsoudinov signed a five-fight contract with the organization. Including one against Cédric Doumbé for the long-awaited revenge. Within the American league, the French hope should reach a juicy contract making him “one of the highest paid fighters on the planet“ for its age, according to the revelations of Maîtres Fumiers.
A substantial salary in anticipation
It remains to be seen when the revenge against Cédric Doumbé will take place. But the date of December 14 could be the right one, the PFL having reserved the LDLC Arena in Lyon (room that can accommodate up to 16,000 people) for the European tournament finals event.
One thing is certain, Baki should hit the jackpot thanks to this. In the podcast Green Hathe had thus set his conditions for a new fight against Doumbé: “With my family, we decided that it would not be below 500,000. I know, that sounds crazy. But we already need to know what we and Cédric touched. Guys, 500,000, it’s not that much actually. How much did I get? I’m not going to say, but I hit it. I know Cedric hit it even better. 500,000 is really not impossible. They can do it. So if they want to do it, they do it.“
