Norma Dumont rides a five-fight winning streak with impressive decision victories over Irene Aldana and Germaine de Randamie, showcasing crisp striking and improved distance management. Meanwhile, Ketlen Vieira bounced back from her loss to Kayla Harrison by controlling Macy Chiasson for three rounds in May, displaying her grappling and clinch work.. This Ketlen Vieira vs Norma Dumont matchup at UFC Vegas 110 features proven striking against elite grappling in a bantamweight battle that likely determines the next title challenger.
Vieira stands 5’8″ with a 68 inch reach and brings a 15-4 record built on judo and wrestling. She lands 2.84 significant strikes per minute at 41% accuracy while absorbing 3.72. Her striking defense sits at 51%, showing average positioning on the feet. Her grappling shines with 1.28 takedowns per fight at 43% accuracy and elite 90% takedown defense.
Dumont measures 5’7″ with a 67 inch reach and owns a 12-2 record. She lands more volume at 3.86 strikes per minute with better 50% accuracy while absorbing just 2.16. Her 65% striking defense shows superior positioning, and her 72% takedown defense has improved dramatically. Her 1.72 takedowns per fight at 56% accuracy prove she’s not one-dimensional.
This fight comes down to whether Vieira’s grappling can overcome Dumont’s striking momentum and improved takedown defense. Dumont’s crisp boxing and distance management make her formidable, coming off gritty decision victories where her ability to out-strike and clinically control range frustrated heavy-handed grapplers.
Vieira’s grappling skillset can frustrate Dumont and control the pace. Against top fighters like Holly Holm, Vieira showed adaptability and utilized her judo background to redirect fights when needed. However, she’s alternated wins and losses in her last five bouts, suggesting inconsistency against elite competition.
If we bet on this fight, we are going with Norma Dumont to win via unanimous decision.
