A fight that turned into a meme… Indeed, the highly anticipated duel between Cédric Doumbé And Jordan Zebo, which took place this Saturday, September 30, 2023 at the Zénith in Paris, lasted only 9 seconds… Enough time to make a meme and be able to share it with Internet users who were not able to attend the fight. Besides the domination of Cédric Doumbéwe can note that Jordan Zebo nevertheless did everything possible to try to resist him.
Indeed, a few days before the fight, the athlete who is just in his twenties went through one of the tests most feared by fighters: the cutting. The objective? Become significantly dehydrated “to lose a lot of water, before regaining this mass between the moment of weighing and the fight, i.e. 36 hours, in order to be heavier than your opponent in the cage”as our colleagues at Parisian
.

Jordan Zebo went through the cutting before his fight with Cédric Doumbé
In fact, by carrying out this “fight before the fight”, Jordan Zebo appeared with 8 kilos less on the scale this Friday. In fact, around 9:45 a.m., he weighed 77.5 kg. However, the day before, during the press conference, the fighter had indicated to the YouTube channel “Ilies Mkt” that he weighed almost 86 kg. He therefore managed to lose nearly 8.5 kg in less than 24 hours…
If this allows you to “stay on track” and be able to compete in your fight, it is not a cakewalk. “It’s clearly torture.”explains for example the fighter Nora Cornolle, before specifying: “We put ourselves in survival mode, we fight to lose the last few hundred grams because we already have very little water in our body. I have already looked at myself in the mirror and asked myself: where am I going to lose this weight? I might even cry, that might help me lose some.” A “torture” which however seems inevitable for some.
