Anthony Pettis already eyeing a future fight with Cedric Doumbe: “Biggest fight in PFL history”
PFL lightweight contender Anthony Pettis is already eyeing Cedric Doumbe.
‘The Best’ is fresh off his promotional debut against Jordan Zébo last Saturday night. In a highlight that will be shown for years to come, Cedric Doumbe got a highlight-reel knockout win in just nine seconds. That victory impressed most of the MMA world, and seemingly got the attention of Anthony Pettis.
‘Showtime’ has been out of action since a win over Roy Jones Jr. in the boxing ring in April. That was a one-off bout, and Anthony Pettis apparently now has an interest in returning to the PFL. As he stated on social media, he would love to return to the promotion to face Cedric Doumbe.
On social media, Anthony Pettis opined that a fight with Cedric Doumbe would be the biggest in PFL history. The callout comes not long after the Frenchman stated that he’s eyeing all the big names in MMA. One of those names that he listed as a potential future opponent is ‘Showtime’.
