Bantamweight is clearly not for Norma Dumont.
The Brazilian badly missed weight for the second time in a row, except this time she’s gotten her fight cancelled. As she did for her November win versus Ashlee Evans-Smith, Dumont weighed in at 139.5 lbs against Erin Blanchfield.
UFC officials confirmed at Friday’s weigh-in that “due to weight management issues,” Dumont has been pulled from the Blanchfield matchup. Blanchfield made weight and ideally she gets compensated even though she won’t be competing tomorrow afternoon.
Dumont debuted in the UFC at featherweight against Megan Anderson in February of last year, losing by first-round KO.
