UFC Vegas 121 loser calls decision 'one of the biggest absurdities ever' in furious statement
Dumont said she won the second round and called the verdict one of MMA’s biggest absurdities after dropping a unanimous decision.
- On Saturday, UFC women's bantamweight contender Norma Dumont dropped a unanimous decision to Ailin Perez in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 121, a result many fans and media felt was incorrect.
- Animosity between the fighters defined the lead-up to the event at the Meta Apex, with their feud nearly boiling over during Friday's weigh-ins when Dumont threw condoms and money at Perez.
- Expressing frustration with the scoring, Dumont stated, "It was one of the biggest absurdities I've ever seen in MMA," claiming she dominated the second and third rounds against the Argentine fighter.
- This defeat marks two consecutive losses for the 135-pound contender, complicating her path to title contention, though she remains a top-ranked fighter in the shallow division.
- Meanwhile, the card faced additional disruption when main-event fighter Raoni Barcelos required medical attention following his bout against Raul Rosas Jr.
