Norma
Dumont has parted ways with the
Ultimate Fighting Championship despite having two bouts left on
her contract.

Dumont (13-4) has announced that she is no longer in the UFC,
saying she already knew the promotion wouldn't renew her contract
when it expired. She revealed that she had already discussed her
UFC exit with her fiancée and fellow UFC fighter, Marco Tulio
(14-3), with whom she wants to start a family after leaving the
UFC.

retirement fight

Dumont also revealed that she has received an offer from another
mixed martial arts promotion to compete for a title, as well as
another offer to compete in boxing. The 36-year-old admits the
boxing offer is more lucrative and she's seriously considering
taking it.

“I'm here to announce my official departure from the UFC,†Dumont
said on Instagram. “I want to say that I'm very grateful for all
these years — it was eight years with them, it was wonderful for
me, it's where I built my career, it's where I built my financial
life, I changed my life and the lives of the people around me, I
met Marco Tulio, so for me it was something incredible that made me
very happy for many years. But I think now I need to breathe in new
places… I still had two fights left on my contract with the
organization, but since before my last fight, when there were still
three fights remaining, I already had information that the UFC
probably wouldn't renew once those fights were over. So, I had
already agreed with Marco that I would retire by the end of next
year, maybe sooner, because we want to build our family… And we
came to the conclusion that it's time to breathe different air, and
we’ve already been approached by other opportunities. One is in
MMA, fighting for a belt, and another is in boxing. Both offers are
very good, but I confess I'm more inclined toward boxing. It would
be an incredible opportunity and I think you'll see me in boxing
next year. Financially, it's worth it, and I think I'll have a lot
of fun. Since I got this offer, I've even been excited to get back
to training, but for now I still can't give any details. I leave my
thanks to the organization and to the fans.â€

Dumont made her UFC debut in 2020 and went 9-4 in the promotion.
“The Immortal†exits the UFC on a two-fight skid. She most recently
suffered a unanimous decision loss to Ailin Perez
this past September, which she believes she won.

Jon Anik will continue as an
Ultimate Fighting Championship commentator for the foreseeable
future.

rather work with than the UFC.

commentator known for his enthusiasm and meticulous research. His
new deal kicks off at UFC
334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Thanking the athletes and sharing his excitement for the future,
Anik said via a press release:

“I am beyond grateful for these last 15 years with the UFC. I've
had the chance to learn from and work with so many talented people.
There is no live production team in all of television that I would
rather go to bat for and I will never take this seat for granted.
Eternal thanks to the MMA athletes, who fight and train so hard and
allow so many of us fans to work in the sport we love. I am so
excited to be a part of what this monster organization does moving
forward.â€
