Norma Dumont (born October 1, 1990) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist in the Featherweight division who fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As of August 6, 2024, she is #8 in the UFC women's bantamweight rankings.[6]
Background
Dumont's father abandoned her mother and his three daughters when Dumont was four.[citation needed] At 13, Dumont started practicing Jiu Jitsu.[7] 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.[7]
