Farès Ziam gives his cash prediction on the Cédric Doumbé vs Baki clash: “A very…

Before his return to the octagon this weekend in Mexico, Farès Ziam was invited to give his opinion on the event fight between Cédric Doumbé and Baysangur Chamsoudinov. The Lyonnais gave a unique and particularly realistic prediction…

If he is not yet among the most popular French fighters in the world of MMA, Farès Ziam could quickly progress in the esteem of fans. He plays in the largest organization on the planet, the UFC, in the most elite and prestigious category, lightweight, which should logically attract attention.

And that’s not all, since it’s also quite easy to get attached to him and his personality. He shares his daily life on his YouTube channel, he has a fairly effective range of derivative products, so clearly, if he has a string of victories, enthusiasts will follow him closely. Does he have the ability to catch up with Benoît Saint-Denis, goal he recently set for himself ? Response imminent.

Farès Ziam talks about the Doumbé versus Baki clash

Because he will be in the octagon this weekend in Mexico, where he will face his former training teammate Claudio Puelles. He therefore went around the media to sell his return to competition, and unsurprisingly, during his appearance on the excellent “Micka & AB Show”, fans asked him what he thought of the upcoming clash between Cédric Doumbé and Baysangur Chamsoudinov… He was not necessarily delighted with the question:

Oh damn… You can’t leave us alone with this fight?! Everyone sees Doumbé knocking out Baki, I think in my humble opinion that it won’t happen. I think the fight will go to decision. I really like both, and I think we haven’t seen Doumbé’s wrestling and ground yet. But from what I saw when I trained in his gym, he made good progress.

It’s the same for Baki, people think he doesn’t know how to box, but from what I can see on his social media and during his training, or even his fights, he is fast and fluid in boxing. In my opinion it will be a very committed fight, but one that will come to a decision. I don’t give a winner as I like both. When you expect big fights, it doesn’t go as planned.

Farès Ziam has decided to take the opposite view of all the specialists, since according to him, the fight between Cédric Doumbé and Baysangur Chamsoudinov will go to the decision. He believes that the two PFL stars have improved on their weak points and that they will therefore be able to counter each other. Even if he’s on target, let’s still hope that the show will be there.

For weeks, two camps have been clashing on social networks: those who think that Cédric Doumbé will win by knockout, and those who think that Baki will succeed in subduing his opponent. Farès Ziam sees neither happening.
