Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.
Dumont announced Wednesday that he has parted ways with the UFC. He also revealed that he left the promotion despite having two fights left on his contract. According to Dumont, he had already been told that the UFC was not going to renew his contract after it expired.
Why Amanda Nunes doesn’t agree with Norma Dumont’s departure from the UFC?
Nunes believes Dumont made a “bad decision” in leaving the UFC. According to the former two-division champion, Dumont should have tried to prove to the promoters that he belonged on the roster.
“Norma made a very bad decision in her life to leave the UFC,” Nunes said at a media day ahead UFC 334. “He had two more fights. In his place, I would have proved to the UFC, I belong here. I feel like leaving the UFC is not a good decision.”
Dumont (13-4) was at the top of the title race before losing his last two fights. He claims he has been offered an outright title shot in another promotion and a lucrative boxing match, revealing on social media that he is leaning towards the latter.
Meanwhile, Nunes (23-5) returns to challenge after a three-year hiatus Kayla Harrison (19-1) for the bantamweight title at UFC 334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Hall of Famer has hinted at a title defense if he defeats Harrison.
