One moment, Derek Anderson is set to fight Cedric Doumbe. The next, he’s the victim of an alleged hit-and-run. Hours after the Doumbe fight booking was officially announced for Bellator Champions Series: Paris , Anderson on Tuesday posted a graphic image of a foot injury on Instagram, indicating he was involved in a hit-and-run. The photo of Anderson’s mangled foot appears to have been taken on the side of the road shortly after the alleged incident.

Bellator’s Cedric Doumbe returns vs. Derek Anderson in Paris, but Nurmagomedov-Shabliy title fight scrapped

BAD MMA News — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 14:02:32 +0000

Cedric Doumbe will get to electrify his home fans once again. Doumbe (5-1) meets Derek Anderson (17-4-1) in the Bellator Champions Series: Paris co-headliner, which takes place May 17 at Accor Arena in Paris, the promotion announced Monday. Lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov ’s title defense against Alexander Shabliy , the card’s original main event, has been scrapped due to an injury to Nurmagomedov. The fight is expected to be rebooked in the near future. Doumbe has signed a multi-year contract extension with PFL. After scoring a 9-second knockout of Jordan Zebo in his promotional debut, the French superstar suffered an odd TKO loss to Baysangur Chamsoudinov in the 2024 PFL Europe 1 headliner in March

Cat Zingano to meet Pam Sorenson at Bellator 276; Cris Cyborg says Zingano turned down title fight

BAD MMA News — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 18:09:20 +0000

Bellator’s plan was to have Cat Zingano challenge women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg for the title, but that’s not happening. Zingano instead will face Pam Sorenson on March 12 at Bellator 276, which takes place at The Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo., just outside of St. Louis. MMA Fighting first reported the booking, which a promotion official later confirmed to MMA Junkie on Tuesday. Zingano, 39, has gone 2-0 so far since signing with Bellator in October 2019.

BAD MMA News — Mon, 10 May 2021 18:03:10 +0000

Derek Anderson will be out of action for a while, but not solely because of the nasty broken nose he suffered in a loss to Michael “Venom” Page at Bellator 258 on Friday. On Monday, Mohegan Sun Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation head Mike Mazzulli told MMA Junkie that Anderson (17-4 MMA, 8-4 BMMA) will be suspended 120 days for falsifying his pre-fight medical forms.

Derek Anderson will have to mend more than just his nose after his Bellator 258 fight this past Friday. Anderson (17-4 MMA, 8-4 BMMA) opened the main card against Michael Page (19-1 MMA, 15-1 BMMA) at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and quickly had to contend with Page’s unique style. Eventually, Page drilled Anderson flush in the face with a kick that sat him down. The kick smashed Anderson’s nose in, and once the cageside doctor got a look at it between the first and second round, he had little choice but to recommend the fight be stopped

UNCASVILLE – Derek Anderson spoke with MMA Junkie on Wednesday ahead of Bellator 258. Anderson (17-3 MMA, 8-3 BMMA) discussed his welterweight matchup with Michael Page (18-1 MMA, 14-1 BMMA), which is booked for a third time, and how MVP isn’t on his striking level, how he “absolutely” expects the winner to get a title shot, earning respect, and more.
