Norma Dumont on that Chandler altercation, her mid-fight sprint, UFC women’s featherweight future

Norma Dumont UFC Chelsea Chandler Amanda Nunes ESPN

Dumont (10-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) turned in a dominant performance to sweep Chandler (5-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on the scorecards for a unanimous decision on the main card at UFC on ESPN 49 in Las Vegas. The bout was just the 29th women’s featherweight fight in UFC history.
