Norma Dumont’s road back to bantamweight was far from easy.
The Brazilian fighter signed with the UFC to compete as a featherweight, but lost in the first round to future 145-pound title contender Megan Anderson in February. Returning to bantamweight this Saturday, Dumont had to undo all the work her team did to bulk up a weight class.
Speaking with MMA Fighting ahead of her UFC Vegas 15 clash with Ashlee Evans-Smith on Saturday, “Imortal” said she feels in better shape now compared to earlier this year, but had to dramatically change in her daily routine to weigh 135 pounds again.
