Cédric Doumbé had a thrilling knockout in front of a raucous home crowd at Bellator Paris, but there was only one problem. He wasn’t in the main event.
That spot belonged to Bellator bantamweight champion Patchy Mix, who defended his title against Magomed Magomedov. But after seeing and hearing the kind of reception he received from his hometown fans, Doumbé believes PFL and Bellator officials made a mistake putting him lower on the card.
“I didn’t really enjoy being the co-main event,” Doumbé said recently on The MMA Hour.
