Norma Dumont Viana Ferreira[1] (born October 1, 1990) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist in the Featherweight division who fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As of December 5, 2023, she is #12 in the UFC women's bantamweight rankings.[7]

Background

Dumont's father abandoned her mother and his three daughters when Dumont was 4. At 13, Dumont started practicing Jiu Jitsu.[8] She stopped training to begin work as a secretary. At 19 years old, she went back to training and continued with her MMA career. During this time, she became a six-time Sanda State champion and National champion of Sanda.[3]

When Dumont returned to training at 19, she found a free Muay Thai class. She was suggested by a friend to try Sanda and upon seeing it for the first time signed up immediately.[8]

Her bout proceeded at catchweight and she was fined 30% of her individual purse, which went to her opponent.[13] She won the fight via unanimous decision.[14]

Dumont was expected to face Bea Malecki at UFC on ABC: Vettori vs. Holland on April 10, 2021.[15] However, Malecki pulled out a week before the contest due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Erin Blanchfield.[16] In turn, the bout was pulled from the card by after Dumont missed weight by 3.5lbs.[17]
