DIRECT. MMA: with Cédric Doumbè as master of ceremonies, follow the exceptional show from PFL Lyon

The first comes from Yvelines and has a record of two victories and one defeat. The second is from Marseille and already has 20 amateur fights (11 victories).

“It’s weird being in the cage at 100kg. I ran 30 meters and I was out of breath. »

“I’m going to put myself in the shoes of a promoter and an MMA fan to choose the fighters who will satisfy everyone. »

Entering the cage as if he was going to fight, with his usual music, Cédric Doumbè did not come empty-handed. Armed with his broom, he winked again at the splinter that had stuck in his foot in front of Baki.

Showman par excellence, “The Best” has undoubtedly prepared something. Suspense.

The Frenchman will enter the track to put on his talent scout costume. He will attend the next three fights, all Franco-French, to determine the winners of the two contracts at stake.

Florim Zendeli submits Daniele Miceli by rear choke at the end of the first round. The Albanian leaves with the 100,000 dollars. And he’s quite happy.

The Italian and the Albanian compete in the welterweight category (-77kg).

More than 10,000 spectators gathered in the LDLC Arena.

With a huge knee, Wisniewska made Scatizzi wobble, before pummeling her with punches to push the referee to stop the fight. 100,000 dollars in the Polish woman’s pocket!

The PFL Europe finals take place this evening in Lyon. We start with the women’s Paulina Wisniewska and Valentina Scatizzi.

Remember, last March, when Cédric Doumbè stopped his fight because of a splinter stuck in his foot against Baysangur “Baki” Chamsoudinov. Well it seems that his organization has learned its lessons…

According to the three judges, the Irishman won all three rounds.

Very elegant “kill him, kill him” are heard.

The Frenchman tries to take the advantage on the ground but is knocked down each time by his opponent.

The Lyonnais, who only has one victory in one fight, will nevertheless be able to count on his public to encourage him. Here we go!

Brice Belghazi, greatly applauded by his Lyon public, makes his entrance to challenge the Irishman Eoin Sheridan.

The Italian convinced the three judges thanks to his volume and his boxing (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).

The two men decided to go to war standing up. Being particularly close to the cage, I won’t hide from you that the sounds of the shots are impressive.

The PFL Lyon opens just now, the public lets out its first screams.

The Englishman challenges the Italian Claudio Pacella in the lightweight (-70kg).

A fight having been canceled at the last minute, the clashes will begin in just a few minutes.

All the places were sold even before the various fights were announced, assured us Dan Hardy, the director of operations of the PFL and former UFC fighter.

“This event has everything: title fights, stars, young talents and, most importantly, Cédric Doumbè. Let’s go!! »
