“Immortal” 2.0?
No. 4-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight contender Norma Dumont collides with No. 3-seeded Ketlen Vieira at UFC Vegas 110 this weekend (Sat., Nov. 1, 2025) inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Despite being tucked away on the “Prelims
”, Dumont vs. Vieira carries major stakes — especially for Dumont, who could be just one win away from a Bantamweight title shot once Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes settle their business early next year.And while a win might be
enough, a finish would all but guarantee it. Now, the 35-year-old Brazilian says she’s ready to start stopping her opponents after 10 UFC fights and a refreshed mindset.
“I’m really excited for this fight and on Saturday I’m going to show everybody a renewed version of myself,” Dumont told UFC.com during UFC Vegas 110 media day. “I’ve been waiting for this fight for over a year now, and you’re going to see a very exciting, very aggressive fighter going for the finish all the time. If I have to go to the ground, I’ll go there — but I’m looking for the knockout.”
Dumont has yet to record a finish inside the Octagon, earning eight decision wins so far — though her dominant, bloody performance over Irene Aldana last time out should have been stopped by the doctor.
Still, it’s taken “The Immortal” some time to adopt this new mentality, and she believes the timing couldn’t be better.
“I think the time it has taken me to [develop this mindset] has made me a better and more mature fighter. Everything is leading me to be a very mature champion,” Dumont said. “I have to show the UFC that I’m a complete fighter. I have to show them and the fans that I’m ready to be champion — that I’m the right person to be champion.”
Dumont is riding a five-fight win streak and is 2-0 since moving down to Bantamweight after her old division got scrapped.
