No worries man.Thanks! I usually read a majority of the post before commenting, but on this one I just commented without checking. Great explanation, and it all makes sense now (though I agree with you, it's crazy they don't take his Kickboxing career into the math).
Why isn't he fighting in the UFC? What the fuck is going on here? Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!
The UFC doesn't want talented fighters. They want untalented chuds off of contender series who lose every fight.
Doumbé posted a tweet in French very recently, it said this (Google-translate):Doumbe's choice, he wants to make his UFC debut in France (or possibly Abu Dhabi), so he is taking regional fights to stay active meanwhile.
Doumbé posted a tweet in French very recently, it said this (Google-translate):
“The UFC is good but in real life, Bellator offers me a sick sum. The UFC is more media but we take risks for our health… It's not the UFC that fills the fridge "
Not too long after the tweet got taken down.
@spinup , did you hear anything about this, or what it should mean?
Yeah, he backtracked that a bit in a more recent interview.Doumbé posted a tweet in French very recently, it said this (Google-translate):

His profile was there since August last year. They never removed it.For what it's worth, UFC have just added his profile to their website 3 days ago.
I think he's UFC bound.

Is Doumbé running his big mouth or is he indeed capable of catching Strickland with one of those big overhands?

Something with the search engine on the UFC website, "doumbe" was not finding it, but "cedric" was.They literally updated his profile 4 days ago now.
There was no grappling involved in that fightDoumbe fought UFC lightweight Brad Riddell to a Split; fighting 185lb guys with even a modicum of grappling is a much bigger test.
Well, it's not like he had a choice.Doumbe's opponents have a combined record of 7-5.
You need to reread what I said...There was no grappling involved in that fight
My thoughts exactly, I can’t think of a less intimidating country, 99% of their athletes are imports from other parts of the world."What French MMA is all about"
Yeah I’m also looking forward to that one! I’m hearing that the UFC will return to Paris in September, so after this one maybe another fight and then there’s his UFC debut I guessCédric "Le Meilleur" Doumbé is the first UFC newcomer in a long long time that made me jump on his bandwagon, I've been a fan of his while he was the kickboxing P4P great for years, and I believe he has what it takes to make it to the top.
Pawel Klimas looks like he could be the first grappling-oriented guy to face Doumbé
I'm just speculating from his team, the "Grappler Ełk / Dragon's Den Fight Club Team" since the 2 main coaches are grapplers
Marek Bujlo is a BJJ guy who competed in ADCC
Kamil Birgiel is a Judo guy, but I can't find much about him in English
Guess we'll see?

I didn’t know that Doumbé fought out of Mejiro Gym Amsterdam under the great André Mannaart at the time he was fighting Brad Riddell. Interesting! Doumbé was known to not have a headcoach or just one gym where he trains at. During his kickboxing haydays he hopped from one gym to another when preparing for fights, ala El Cucuy

Fearless prediction: Doumbe will never fight in the UFC and he is not currently signed there.Will have to try to remember to catch this one. Excited to see how Doumbe does against a halfway decent grappler. Don't really know anything about Klimas but he looks like a solid sized WW at least.
But you just took the time to post about him, right?Lmao nobody knows who the fuck Cedric is
