PFL superstar Cédric Doumbé is set to be in attendance for the PFL Europe’s final show of the year that is coming up in Lyon, France on December 14. The promotion will crown it’s second set of champions at the LDLC arena with four final-round match-ups set for the card.
Doumbé isn’t set to be in action on the card despite not fighting since May and you’d imagine, he will be saved for a big PPV card from the PFL early next year now that the full card for the World Championships has been announced.
Instead, the French striker will take on a different role later this year as he looks to give some emerging French talent his seal of approval. Fight fans are used to tuning into Dana White’s Contender Series each year where UFC hopefuls fight it out to try and impress the promotion’s bosses in order to secure a contract.
Eight French fighters will now get the opportunity to do something similar but rather than fighting at the Apex in front of White and the matchmakers, they will need to impress one of the biggest names in Europe. “Doumbé decides” will feature four fights on the PFL Europe 4 card where at the end, the striking specialist will have the final say on who did enough to earn themselves a spot on the PFL roster.
“The Lazy King” Abdoul Abdouraguimov is set to return in the main event of the evening where he takes on Argentina’s Laureano Staropoli with more fights set to be announced.
