UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is staying sharp between fights by sparring with one of the best middleweights in MMA at the moment: his fellow Brazilian, Caio Borralho. Pereira shared some footage from his tense sparring rounds with Borralho on social media. As you can see, both men definitely landed some hard shots — a testament to how good they both are.

PFL Superfights heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is down to face Glory kickboxer Rico Verhoeven. ‘The Predator’ made his long-awaited return to the cage Saturday night in Saudi Arabia. In the main event of a PFL pay-per-view offering, Francis Ngannou faced Renan Ferreira. For the former UFC heavyweight champion, the bout was his first since being flattened by Anthony Joshua in the boxing ring in March.

Joe Rogan feels the UFC made a significant error in not sealing the deal on securing Cédric Doumbé’s MMA career. Doumbé bounced back from his first professional MMA loss by knocking out Jaleel Willis at Bellator Paris in May. He got back in the win column following a controversial loss to Baissangour Chamsoudinov in March.

It seems that Cedric Doumbe and Anthony Pettis will meet in the Bellator cage sooner rather than later. ‘The Best’ returned to the cage earlier today in the co-main event of Bellator Champions Series 2. Once again back in his home country of France, the former two-time Glory Kickboxing champion faced former LFA titleholder Jaleel Willis. Things were tense in the build-up to the catchweight bout, with both men talking a lot of trash.

PFL star Cedric Doumbe feels that his loss to Baissangour Chamsoudinov was thanks to Marc Goddard. Late last week, the former Glory Kickboxing champion returned to the PFL cage. Last September, Cedric Doumbe fought in the Donn Davis-led promotion, in a heavily-hyped debut. There, the welterweight faced fellow unbeaten prospect Jordan Zebo, knocking him out in nine seconds.

Cedric Doumbe suffered a third-round stoppage in odd fashion on Thursday at PFL Europe 1. Doumbe was headlining the card against Baysangur Chamsoudinov, in a fight the Frenchman was a betting favorite in. The fight was competitive early on and many had it one-to-one going into the third round.

PFL CEO Peter Murray is serious about putting Cedric Doumbe vs. Anthony Pettis together. ‘The Beast’ has the potential to be the Donn Davis-led promotion’s first massive star. A former two-time Glory Kickboxing champion, he was heavily pursued by the UFC. However, he was released from the company in early 2023, for various reasons after a brief stint. Later in the year, Cedric Doumbe signed with the PFL. In late September, made his debut for the company.

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.
