Former GLORY Welterweight Champion Cedric Doumbe to make UFC Debut in Paris on Sept. 3rd
It only took two professional MMA bouts and now another former GLORY fighter will be stepping into the UFC.
According to a source close to the situation, two-time Glory kickboxing welterweight champion Cedric Doumbe will be facing Darian Weeks at UFC Paris on September 3rd.
The source asked to stay anonymous since the promotion hasn’t officially announced the matchup yet. Sherdog was first to report the news.
Doumbe (2-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), transitioned to mixed martial arts last October. The Cameroonian-born French fighter has won both his professional bouts by knockout.
Meanwhile, Weeks (5-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) will be in search of his first octagon win. The 28-year-old dropped unanimous decisions to Bryan Barberena and most recently Ian Garry at UFC 273 in April.
With the addition, the UFC Paris lineup includes:
- Ciryl Gane vs. Tai Tuivasa
- Marvin Vettori vs. Robert Whittaker
