Cedric Doumbe

Born in Douala on August 30, 1992, Cédric Doumbé carries the spirit of Cameroon while representing France in the world of combat sports. This 34-year-old athlete transitioned from a dominant career in kickboxing to become a prominent mixed martial artist competing in the Professional Fighters League. He currently fights in the welterweight division, bringing a striking-heavy style honed over years of elite competition. Doumbé made his mark globally by capturing the Glory Welterweight Championship twice. His dominance earned him the number one ranking in the world for several years according to Combat Press and other major outlets. The industry recognized his skill set early, as he took home Fighter of the Year honors from both Combat Press and Liver Kick in 2016. These accolades cemented his status as one of the most dangerous strikers of his generation before he shifted focus to MMA. His journey from a street fighter in Douala to an international champion reflects a relentless work ethic. Doumbé now applies those same techniques inside the octagon, challenging top-tier opponents in the PFL. Fans remember his explosive kicks and tactical precision during his time at the top of the kickboxing mountain. That background gives him a unique edge when stepping into the ring against grapplers and wrestlers who often struggle to defend against such high-level striking.[edit]
