Why Amanda Nunes disagrees with Norma Dumont’s UFC
departure
Nunes believes Dumont made a “bad decision” by leaving the UFC.
According to the former two-division champion, Dumont should’ve
tried to prove to the promotion that she belongs on the roster.
“Norma did very bad decision in her life to leave UFC,” Nunes said
at media day ahead of UFC
334. “She had two more fights. If I was her, I would have
proved to UFC, I belong here. I feel going away from UFC is not a
good decision.”
Dumont (13-4) was on the cusp of title contention before dropping
her last two fights. She claims she has received an offer for a
direct title shot in another promotion and a lucrative boxing bout,
revealing on social media that she’s leaning towards the
latter.
Meanwhile, Nunes (23-5) is returning after a three-year hiatus to
challenge 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 defending the title if she beats Harrison.
