Runs winning streak to four
Dumont defeated Germaine de Randamie via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was very difficult to watch this fight and think Dumont was the better mixed martial artist, but wrestling can be the great equalizer in this sport and it was in this instance. Norma landed just 11 significant strikes in the 15 minutes of action, but six successful takedowns for 10:04 worth of control time ended up being the difference. De Randamie's ground game is lacking and she hadn't fought since October 2020, so give Dumont credit for exposing a hole in her opponent's game. The Brazilian has won four in a row and seven of her last eight dating back to November 2020.

Shifting to Bantamweight Division
