A lot has changed in a day for UFC bantamweight contender Norma Dumont.
On Thursday, Dumont (12-2) spoke to MMA Junkie, where she expressed her disappointment with the seeming lack of championship bouts in her weight class. With the expected title tilt between Julianna Pena and Kayla Harrison still only rumored for UFC 316, Dumont wanted to make sure she was part of the championship equation. Her last win came in a bloody battle against former title challenger Irene Aldana, which she believes is enough to have earned her a crack at gold.
