Relatively short notice though, hard to find the best opponent. And also, not an illogical progression for a guy who is 5-1.Sorry but this fight looks to be a give-away fight to Cédric Doumbé. Giving Cédric an easier opponent to save their investment he was expensive.

FWIW, I think Baki would run through most PFL and Bellator top 10 at WW, and Doumbe was clearly on a similar level. It's kinda stupid to see people jumping of the bandwagon when that fight actually proved Doumbe's skills are very legit.
