Megan Anderson says she’s fighting Norma Dumont at UFC Norfolk

According to Megan Anderson, her next fight has been booked.

A member of the UFC’s least populated division, women’s featherweight, Anderson (9-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) says she’ll take on promotional newcomer Norma Dumont at UFC Norfolk.

On Monday, Anderson posted the news in a blog post on her official website. At this time, no other fights have been announced for UFC Norfolk, which takes place Feb. 29 at Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Va.

Anderson, 29, has split her four UFC outings to date. After a loss to Felicia Spencer in May, Anderson punched her ticket back into the win column in her most recent fight. At UFC 243 in October, Anderson defeated Zarah Fairn by first-round rear-naked choke.

Dumont (4-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will make her promotional debut after signing with the UFC in early March. In four pro wins, the 29-year-old fighter has picked up two submission victories. She has not competed since August 2018 and has only fought twice since July 2017.

Born in and fighting out of Brazil, Dumont has competed for the country’s top regional promotions including Jungle Fight and Shoot Brasil.
