Overview
- Dumont announced on social media Tuesday that she requested and was granted a release from the UFC despite having two fights remaining on her contract.
- She said UFC officials had indicated they probably would not re-sign her, which she cited as a key reason for seeking the early exit.
- Dumont, 36, finished a roughly eight-year run in the UFC with a 9-4 record inside the promotion and recent back-to-back decision losses to Joselyne Edwards and Ailin Perez.
- She reported offers from a major boxing promoter and other organizations and said she is leaning toward making a professional boxing debut in 2027, though no contracts or opponents have been confirmed.
- Her departure removes a top-five veteran from the thin UFC women’s bantamweight ranks and leaves open questions about where Dumont will fight next and whether she will retire soon to begin a family with partner Marco Tulio.
