Megan Anderson and Norma Dumont have opposite short-term plans in the UFC. The former Invicta FC featherweight champion is chasing a shot at the UFC belt with a win Saturday night in Norfolk, but Dumont has a distinct approach.
Dumont makes her first walk to the Octagon after building a 4-0 record in the Brazilian circuit between 2016 and 2018. The excitement of the “pre-fight atmosphere” is unlike any other, she said, and “it won’t feel like this until it’s for the belt.”
She’s already mentioning the belt, but the 29-year-old Brazilian won’t call for a shot at the title any time soon, even if she scores an impressive victory against a big-name opponent like Anderson this weekend.
