Former two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes took glee in Norma Dumont\u2019s controversial loss at UFC Vegas 116 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
UFC bantamweight contender Norma Dumont suffered a disappointing loss to Joselyne Edwards at UFC Vegas 116<\/a> last Saturday. In a controversial, back-and-forth matchup, Edwards walked away with a unanimous decision win as Dumont almost immediately protested the official decision in the cage.<\/p>\n It was a disappointing result for Dumont after the talented bantamweight entered UFC Vegas 116 on a six-fight winning streak. She\u2019s repeatedly called for title shots against Amanda Nunes and Kayla Harrison during her short time in the 135 lb division.<\/p>\n Nunes and Dumont have traded subtle barbs in recent years, particularly when Nunes announced her return to MMA to fight Harrison<\/a>. After Dumont\u2019s loss, Nunes responded with multiple \u2018laughing\u2019 emojis on her Instagram, showing indirect mockery of the result.<\/p>\n As Nunes continues to wait for Harrison to be medically cleared to return to fight, Dumont hit back at the UFC Hall of Famer\u2019s latest taunts.<\/p>\n Norma Dumont hits back at Amanda Nunes after UFC Vegas 116 defeat<\/p>\n In a recent Instagram<\/a> story post, Dumont responded to Nunes\u2019 online mockery of her UFC Vegas 116 defeat.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very happy that Amanda (Nunes)\u2019s internet is working again. Because it\u2019s been six fights, four years if I\u2019m not mistaken, that I went undefeated, and I challenged her to fight in every fight and she never responded,\u201d Dumont said of Nunes.<\/p>\n \u201cShe never responded to any message I sent directly to her challenging her to a fight, she didn\u2019t respond to any of the pages\u2026 But now she\u2019s decided to show up, so I\u2019m very happy that her internet is back. And now I understand that our conversation will be different.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I\u2019m very happy about that, because I\u2019m sure that in the next fight, we\u2019ll come out with our arms raised and this conversation will still yield a lot,\u201d Dumont continued on Nunes. \u201cI think this has become very interesting now.\u201d (h\/t AgFight<\/a>)<\/p>\n It\u2019s uncertain if Nunes will entertain the idea of fighting another top contender if Harrison isn\u2019t planning on returning to the cage in the coming months. She hasn\u2019t fought since a win over Irene Aldana at UFC 289, and announced her retirement in the cage after the official decision was read.<\/p>\n What is your prediction for the likely Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes fight?
