Why didn't Dana sign Cedric Doumbe??

[Istryker]

Electric performer and he can fill a stadium, is this part of Dana actively suppressing fighter pay or something?

 

[VinceArch]

Doumbe move on Dana's part.

 

[Fact Checker]

Because he wasn’t going to overpay for a French one dimensional striker who was going to compete in a grapplers shark tank at WW.


After gimmick match ups with Kevin Holland, Wonderboy, etc. who were they going to throw at him? I’m not sure he even gets passed either of those two lol.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Bellator made him an offer the UFC didn't want to match after initially signing Doumbe or at least coming very close to it, banking on Gane, BSD, Fiorot, Gomis, and Imavov to carry Paris cards.

Doumbe move on Dana's part.

Arsehole I was going to use that! What a doumbe arse Dana is!

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Doumbe had the momentum vs Baki, up until that fight ended, weirdly. Baki would do well in the UFC, and so would Doumbe.

If you don't doumbe first, you doumbe last.

 

[Bojka]

My guess is PFL overpaid for him after the high they were on from signing Ngannou. They thought they could have them fight together in France or something.

They signed MVP though.

Plenty of one dimensionar strikers at ww in the UFC for him to fight, but I guess he is not as good as fucking Arod or Moroni.

Exactly why Dana signed MVP!!!!!!!......wait a minute....

Maybe Doumbe can still work with Dana and, bonus, sharpen his grappling chops in a world class promotion like -

Power Slap

 

[Fact Checker]

They signed MVP though.

MVP has a market in the USA and in the UK. He’s also faced decent caliber grapplers to win a couple fights.

 

[NoSmilez]

The UFC gave up on him because he had a brain bleed. He also had issues with fighting in France. He didn't have enough fights. He would have to fight other newbies.

MVP has a win over Douglas Lima and has fought solid grapplers like Storley… who has Doumbe fought? A French caliber grappler in his last fight which he lost?


I’m sure Daner is losing sleep over Doumbe knocking out a bottom of the barrel guy like Jaleel Willis who can’t even win fights in the minor leagues like Bellator

Love that they signed MVP, a f'n warrior! Can't stand his hand/snake thing, but his 8 weapons are capable of extreme skull-fracturing damage. That makes him a gotta-watch fighter, Doumbe isn't imho near as exciting.

Ian Garry would make an awesome statement if he'd "fight down" to MVP.​

 

[svmr_db]

PFL is paying him to fight cans (aside from Baki) and bloated up lightweights, his next fight is going to be vs Anthony Pettis who has been washed for years lmao.

Let's see him beat some real guys before we say UFC missed out on anything.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Because he wasn’t going to overpay for Another French one dimensional striker

FTFY. They have Gane already.

 

[DanAndroid]

Fill a stadium? What are you smoking on? They couldn't fill a 9000 seat venue in his home country lol

 

[blaseblase]

MVP has a market in the USA and in the UK.

Doumbe has a bigger social media following for what its worth and is huge in France.

He’s also faced decent caliber grapplers to win a couple fights.

Who? He got outwrestled by Daley of all people.

 

[El Fernas]

They did sign him...Not sure of the brain issue someone mentioned, but the French MMA commision or whatever his name didnt allow him to fight, he was "too new" or something at the time, the UFC call it off, but its not like they passed on the guy.
