As much as i hate top kickboxers going to mma, i wish Doumbe nothing but success. I just wish we'd seen Doumbe vs Eersel before he left.

Would have been nice to see him fight Kyshenko too.

Both would’ve been great fights that we unfortunately missed out on..
I remember a year or two ago Kyshenko was in talks with Glory and ONE if I remember correctly, but then popped for something and both opportunities went out of the door.
Does anyone know where he’s hanging out now?

Hopefully pounding Putin's skull in.
 
All the best Muay Thai fighters go to kickboxing for better pay. All the best kickboxers go to MMA for better pay. All the best MMA fighters begging to fight boxers for better pay. And the cycle continues~~~~
 
If there is one thing that the boring MW division of the ufc needs rn, is elite kickboxers (with good TDD, please)
 
As much as I hate seeing Kickboxers leave the sport for MMA, it sure is satisfying to see how well they do.

Everything is falling into place with Izzy vs Alex. I had faith that Izzy would work his way to the title, which he did quickly, and the same for Alex which gives the UFC a great story line and gets people talking about Kickboxing due to those prior fights between them.

If Vakhitov could have a similar transition that would be pretty awesome. Unfortunately not much big fight options for him in Kickboxing especially since Glory booted him. He doesn't really have any MMA experience though.

Being Russian and with no MMA fights, it's going to take a long time before we can even imagine Vakhitov in the UFC.

There is recent rumor that Artem Vakhitov is thinking about taking an mma fight.

For real? Where did you see that
Btw would be a shame if Glory loses Vakhitov for good because of their weird decision to terminate all contracts of their Russian fighters (since all the time I still had hope Glory would resign him when shit would calm down in Ukraine-Russia)

Yeah would be cool if UFC signed all the guys that left Glory to pursue a career in MMA, like Jason Wilnis, Yousri Belgaroui, maybe even give Artem Levin a contract (he for sure has MMA experience since he’s striking coach at American Top Team).
Donovan Wisse also expressed his interest in crossing over to MMA after getting in some title defences of his Glory MW-title

Apparently Doumbé’s signing a UFC contract and making his promotional debut at UFC Paris if he manages to win this weekend, according to Doumbé.

Doumbé won his second MMA fight by 2nd round TKO




Signed by UFC and making his promotional debut at UFC Paris then I assume?



Doumbé said this right before his TKO win last weekend:

‘The contract is arriving, it all depend on tonight, but the contract will arrive, we will sign it. And September .. Inchallah.
Pressure because it's like the champions league of MMA , but exciting too because fear of nobody. We want so bad to perform well that we have pressure.’
 
Yesterday Junior Tafa won his MMA debut by 1st round TKO
