A women’s bantamweight bout with title implications will go down this spring.
Norma Dumont will square off against fellow contender Yana Santos at a UFC event on April 25. Multiple outlets confirmed the 135-pound booking following an initial report from Ag.Fight. The card doesn’t yet have a location or main event. While the Dumont-Santos winner should be a top contender for the women’s 135-pound belt, they will likely have to wait until Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes is rebooked at a later date. Harrison withdrew from a UFC 324 title defense against the returning Nunes to undergo neck surgery; no timetable has been set for the reigning champ’s return.
