Background[]

Dumont's father abandoned her mother and his three daughters when Dumont was 4. At 13, Dumont started practicing Jiu Jitsu.[5] 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.[2]

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.[6]

Her bout proceeded at catchweight and she was fined 30% of her individual purse, which went to her opponent.[11]She won the fight via unanimous decision.[12] During the fight, the ref Jason Herzog prevented Dumont's breasts from being accidentally exposed.[13]

Dumont was expected to face Bea Malecki at UFC on ABC: Vettori vs. Holland on April 10, 2021.[14] However, Malecki pulled out a week before the contest due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Erin Blanchfield.[15] In turn, the bout was pulled from the card by after Dumont missed weight by 3.5lbs.[16]

Dumont was scheduled to face Holly Holm on October 16, 2021 at UFC Fight Night 195.[19] However, on October 6, 2021 it was reported that Holm was forced to withdraw from the event, citing injury, and was replaced by Aspen Ladd.[20] Dumont was not concerned with the short notice nature of the fight saying, "I've been training five rounds and doing 25 minutes straight. That's nothing new to me."[21] Dumont won the fight via unanimous decision.[22]
