France has weird mma laws97@Thetraveler1984 @CedricDoumbe @danawhite Not at all lol the commission would not let him fight Weeks cuz of their difference in experience. France has weird mma laws In a recent interview with BOXEMAG.com, the French national stated that he was still under contract with the American fight promotion. He also added that he is currently working on getting the required licenses: “It is possible that they put a name and then remove it [depending on whether or not the fight is confirmed] and my name must have been removed from the site. But I'm still on contract. I signed the contract, they didn't cut me off, I just have to do my papers, my license etc… with the federation. That's why, as long as I haven't done my license, I can't fight in France," Translated via google translate. Doumbe is currently undefeated in MMA with a record of 2-0. In his pro-MMA debut, the 30-year-old cruised past Arbi Emiev with a first-round TKO at SuperKombat-Universe. Check out Cedric Doumbe's MMA debut below: × Rate this story! Thank You!
