Featherweight (145lbs.): 1-1 (UFC)

Norma Dumont, the other half of the main event for UFC Vegas 40 has also had issues with making weight during her UFC career.

Dumont made her UFC debut in Febuary of 2020 at 145lbs against Megan Anderson.

Dumont missed weight for her next fight against Ashlee Evans-Smith in November of 2020. Norma moved down to the bantamweight division but weighed in at 139.5lbs. for the bout.

In April of 2021 Dumont was slated to take on Erin Blanchfield in another bantamweight bout. But Norma again missed weight coming in at 139.5lbs., only this time, the Nevada State Athletic Commission cancelled the fight. However, this was a short notice fight so its not as big of a deal as a regular weight cutting miss.

Norma’s most recent bout was in May of 2021 when she won a split decision against the most recent women’s UFC featherweight title challenger, Felicia Spencer.
