Sedriques Dumas continued to struggle at UFC Vegas 116.
The Floridian âReaperâ started off his UFC career well enough, winning three of his first five bouts in addition to his Contender Series success. Unfortunately, itâs been off the rails ever since, as heâs winless in his last four fights. He was stopped in all three of the losses, and the other matchup was a âNo Contestâ versus Zachary Reese that saw him kicked low so badly he couldnât pee for several days.
Most recently, Dumas was finished quickly by Jackson McVay in âThe Mooseâsâ first Octagon victory (highlights here) at UFC Vegas 116. Many expected that defeat would be the end of Dumasâ UFC career, but so far, there has been no official announcement. In fact, Dumas went on social media to reveal his solution to the losing streak: heâs going to drop down to Welterweight.
âIâm going to 170,â the 6â2â Dumas wrote on his Instagram story. âIâm sorry I love this sât to [sp] much.â
