Presently in custody, Dumas is being held on $558,500 bond.
Sadly, that is removed from the primary time Dumas has run into hassle with the legislation. It’s not even his first time getting arrested as a UFC fighter, as he additionally confronted a 2024 battery cost. In reality, there was already a set of his earlier mugshots circulating round MMA Twitter, although it’ll need to be up to date. In accordance with Ben Davis, that is Dumas’ fifteenth arrest since 2014.
Only a couple weeks in the past at UFC 314, Dumas was shortly flattened by Polish energy puncher Michal Oleksiejczuk (watch right here). His general UFC file stands at 3-3 with zero end victories. The promotion has but to launch an official assertion, however I might be stunned if his UFC contract lasts one other 48 hours.
Given his historical past, the query is how he signed on within the first place and precisely what sort of background checks does the promotion make use of. Is the Middleweight division actually so determined for our bodies that Dumas was ever a vital member of the roster?
