UFC set to disband women's featherweight division in September Norma Dumont

Following the June retirement of former undisputed bantamweight and featherweight champion, Amanda Nunes, reports now suggest the Brazilian will be the final champion to ever strike gold at 145lbs in the division inside the Octagon – with the UFC set to axe the weight class in September.

The promotion, who have crowned just three featherweight champions since the inception of the division back in 2017, saw inaugural gold go to Dutch striker, Germaine de Randamie back in January of that year, following a close decision win over former bantamweight titleholder, Holly Holm in Brooklyn, New York. 

Stripped of the title after her reluctance to fight Brazilian veteran, Cris Cyborg – the Brazilian would then strike featherweight gold in the summer of 2017 with a third round TKO win over Tonya Evinger, Cyborg would then defend the title against the aforenoted, Holm, and Yana Santos.

Dropping the title to her compatriot, Nunes in 2018, Cyborg was stopped with a stunning first round KO in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Norma Dumont claims UFC informed her of the featherweight division’s axing

And according to recent winner, Norma Dumont, Nunes is likely to be the final gold holder in the history of the featherweight division, with the UFC informing her that the division would be axed come the end of September this year. 

“They (the UFC) said, ‘Look, there’s really no one else to fight, Norma,” Norma Dumont told MMA Fighting during a recent interview. “There’s no point fighting lower level athletes. [UFC said], ‘The reality is, there’s no one else.’ It really makes no sense to me and to [the UFC].”

“That’s happening a lot,” Dumont said. “They announce a fight [at bantamweight] and then the athlete has a hard time making weight, and they move it to 145 (pounds). [UFC] said the division would be closed in September because that would be the last fight.” (Transcribed by Bloody Elbow)

The current number 11 ranked bantamweight contender, Dumont has enjoyed a three-fight winning run recently, defeating the trio of Danyelle Wolf, Karol Rosa, and most recently, Chelsea Chandler

Chelsea Chandler runs from Norma Dumont at UFC Vegas 77 gets meme'd instantly

Appearing in the news cycle earlier this week following claims from her that rumors have been suggesting a featherweight return to the UFC for ex-champion, Ronda Rousey, division challenger, Chelsea Chandler has found herself in the headlines again – with fans and social media users laughing at her decision to run from Norma Dumont during last night’s clash.

Chandler, an alum of the Shannon Knapp-led Invicta FC, had made a successful debut inside the Octagon back in October of last year, landing a first round TKO win over Julija Stoliarenko at the UFC Apex facility.

Returning to the same venue for last night’s high-stakes clash with perennial contender, Dumont last night, Chelsea Chandler slumped to 5-2 as a professional, dropping a unanimous decision loss to the Brazilian championship hopeful.

Chelsea Chandler was on the receiving end of meme treatment on social media

However, receiving flak and subsequent meme treatment across social media, within the opening minute of the first round, Chandler was clipped with a heavy shot from Dumont, before the Stockton native turned on her heels and openly sprinted from side of the Octagon to the other, actually colliding into an advertising panel while the former gave pursuit. 

Earlier in the week during her media availability, Chandler claimed that inaugural bantamweight champion, Rousey was in line for a return to the Octagon – in a rumored featherweight division debut for the former titleholder, however, as a result, rumors were firmly put to bed with Rousey currently “not considering” what would be a stunning comeback to the UFC

Riding an impressive five-fight winning run into last night’s UFC Vegas 77 clash with Dumont, Chandler had picked up a notable TKO win over Brittney Victoria, before submitting Olivia Parker with a rear-naked choke under the Invicta FC banner.

Landing another significant Octagon victory, Brazilian featherweight, Norma Dumont managed to knock back promotional newcomer and Dana White’s Contender Series product, Danyelle Wolf the former boxing champion’s Octagon bow at UFC 279 tonight in ‘Sin City’.

Dumont, who saw her three-fight winning spree halted by main card feature, Macy Chiasson ahead of her preliminary card return against Wolf, displayed her own striking expertise with a series of knockdowns throughout the three round limit — landing Wolf on her backside on cue.

Finishing the third and final frame from full mount, as well as posturing on occasion, Dumont managed to land a comprehensive unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26) victory against the promotional debutante — as she looks to move toward a title showdown against compatriot, Amanda Nunes.

UFC featherweight contender Norma Dumont is crediting the UFC Performance Institute’s staff for her recent success in the Octagon.

Dumont earned another dominant win over Aspen Ladd at UFC Vegas 40 in her first career main event. She showcased her elite kickboxing to earn the unanimous decision victory and move up in the featherweight title picture.

However, it wasn’t always easy for Dumont in her professional career, as she’s had a history of brutal weight cuts during her time at bantamweight. She was nearly let go from the promotion after missing weight ahead of UFC Vegas 15.

Following her win at UFC Vegas 40, Dumont teared up when thinking about how the UFC PI helped change her weight cutting process and overall nutrition.

Norma Dumont Defeated Aspen Ladd By Unanimous Decision

“I made weight so much better this time,” Dumont said. “I came into the [UFC P.I.] defeated and broken, so I want to thank all of them for all the work they did. Those people put me back together because I was almost fired for missing weight [at UFC Vegas 15]. They fixed me.”

Dumont went on to elaborate on her intentions to make the UFC women’s featherweight division great, despite there being a limited amount of contenders at the moment. Nunes most recently defended her featherweight belt against Megan Anderson at UFC 259.

With her win over Ladd, Dumont is right in the thick of things in the featherweight title picture. She has the Muay Thai background to potentially give Nunes some issues on the feet.

Despite missing weight by almost five pounds ahead of her fight with Ashlee Evans-Smith at UFC Vegas 15, the fight continued and Dumont won by a unanimous decision. Still, Dumont needed to earn the respect and trust of the UFC brass following the bad miss on the scales.

Dumont has one of the true ‘feel good’ stories of 2021, and her escape from a dark moment in her life has proven to be one of the main reasons for her success.

Do you think Norma Dumont should get the next featherweight title shot against Amanda Nunes?

UFC bantamweight and featherweight contender Aspen Ladd has spoken out for the first time since her loss to Norma Dumont in the UFC Vegas 40 main event.

After taking a featherweight bout on short notice against Dumont, Ladd fell by a unanimous decision in what many felt was a disappointing return to the Octagon. Ladd had been away from the sport for nearly two years entering UFC Vegas 40 due to a series of injury-related issues.

Just hours after her disappointing loss, Ladd took to Instagram to reflect on her fight and look forward to what’s next in her professional career.

“Not my night,” Ladd said. “Congrats to my opponent. We will be back better. In the meantime, I finally got to get back in there after nearly two years. Now, it’s time to take a step back, take a breath, and get back to fighting and feeling like myself again. On to the next.”

Aspen Ladd Returned After Nearly Two-Year Layoff

Ladd filled in on the main event slot just weeks after her UFC Vegas 38 bout against Macy Chiasson was canceled following a brutal weight cut. She has had a history of struggles on the scales but made 145 pounds with relative ease for the fight against Dumont.

Many felt that Ladd was often hesitant against Dumont during her fight at UFC Vegas 40, including her coach Jim West. In between rounds, West was heard on the broadcast imploring Ladd to throw combinations and to be more aggressive, but Ladd ultimately fell short.

Ladd has lost two of her last three fights following an eight-fight winning streak during bouts in Invicta FC and the UFC. At 26 years old, many feel she still has the potential to be a star in the UFC despite her recent struggles.
