Evra began his combat training back in 2016 and has been under the tutelage of MMA and PFL superstar Cédric Doumbé. Doumbé is one of the best on the planet, and he is imparting his knowledge for Evra to be a world-renowned champ in a completely new sport.

Bloody Elbow has received confirmation from PFL today that soccer star Patrice Evra is going to make his debut in the SmartCage on May 23 at the promotion’s event at the Accor Arena in Paris. It will mark their second European tournament event after Paul Hughes returns on May 10 in Belfast.
