Norma Dumont and Joselyne Edwards meet in the UFC Fight Night 274 co-feature Saturday at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom.
Dumont (13-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) looks to extend her six-fight winning streak and make a case for a title shot. Her last outing was a split decision over Ketlen Vieira in November.
Edwards (17-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) is on a nice streak of her own, looking to make it five straight. However, her run consists entirely of finishes, the most recent being a second-round submission of Nora Cornolle in February.
The co-main event for UFC Fight Night 274 features a contender's fight at 135 pounds between Norma Dumont and Joselyn Edwards.
Although this appears like a matchup that only Sir Mix-A-Lot would request, the outcome of Dumont vs. Edwards will likely help determine the next title challenger at women's bantamweight.
Edwards is on a somewhat surprising four-fight winning streak that I would love to see continue, but I have a hard time being optimistic about her chances opposite a neutralizing fighter who can outsize her like Dumont.
Add in the fact that Dumont is undefeated in the smaller octagon of the Apex at 7-0, and I suspect that the Brazilian extends her winning streak in this spot.
It feels like a dog or pass from a betting perspective, but the official pick is Dumont by unanimous decision.
The oddsmakers and the public favor the Brazilian fighter, listing Dumont -215 and Edwards +172 via FanDuel.
