Norma Dumont is getting itchy knuckles as she awaits her next assignment in the UFC women’s bantamweight division – with hopes it will be something big.
Dumont (12-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) is currently riding a five-fight unbeaten streak inside the octagon with her most recent performance being an all-time bloodbath against former title challenger Irene Aldana at UFC 306 in September. She wanted to carry momentum forward directly off the back of that result, but the division has been in a holding pattern.
The expectation is reigning 135-pound champ Julianna Peña will next defend against Kayla Harrison, but it hasn’t been announced in the aftermath of both fighters’ most recent victories at UFC 307 in October. If for any reason that matchup gets derailed, Dumont wants it known she is ready and available for an interim championship opportunity or title eliminator.
