Shifting to Bantamweight Division
Dumont has announced that she will move to the bantamweight weight class, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dumont, who is 6-2 in the Featherweight division of the UFC, will move down a weight class after the UFC hinted at closing the 145-pound division in the coming months. The 32-year-old Brazilian fighter spoke on the lack of true competition at the level saying, "There's no point fighting lower-level athletes."

Improves to 6-1 in past seven
Dumont defeated Chelsea Chandler via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC on ESPN 49 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Dumont was roughly a -145 favorite for this fight -- a shockingly low number considering how lopsided it ended up being. Dumont was about three steps ahead of Chandler on the feet the entire way. She also landed all three of her takedown attempts, good for a whopping 8:58 worth of control time. Chandler provided zero resistance in terms of defense, and Norma took full advantage. The UFC's 145-pound female division may very well be reaching the end of the line with the recent retirement of Amanda Nunes, but Dumont has done her part, winning six of her last seven dating back to November 2020.

Taking on Chelsea Chandler
Dumont agreed to face Chelsea Chandler at UFC's July 15 event, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Dumont has won five of her past six fights and is coming off a victory over Karol Rosa last weekend, and she'll waste little time in scheduling her next bout. Chandler won her UFC debut in October and was lined up to take on Danyelle Wolf on Saturday, though that bout was apparently never finalized.
