Sedriques Dumas will get another fight in the UFC. Hunter Campbell called Dumas and thanked him for stepping up on short notice.
Sedriques Dumas has earned another shot inside the UFC octagon. UFC executive Hunter Campbell phoned Dumas to thank him for stepping in on short notice, and the promotion will bring him back for a future fight.
The gesture rewards a fighter who answered the call when the company needed a replacement. Short-notice appearances often carry risk, since a fighter has little time to prepare, and the UFC's decision to keep Dumas on the roster suggests his willingness was noted at the top of the organization.
Dumas, nicknamed "The Reaper," is 31 years old and competes out of Team Remedy BJJ & MMA. The American holds a 10-6-0 professional record. He fights from an orthodox stance and stands six-foot-two with a 79-inch reach, a 201 cm span that gives him length in the middle-weight ranks.
His numbers show a fighter who blends striking with a steady wrestling threat. Dumas lands 1.97 significant strikes per minute at 44 percent accuracy, and he averages 1.3 takedown attempts per 15 minutes. He is not a heavy submission hunter, attempting 0.2 per 15 minutes, which points to a preference for controlling and hurting opponents on the feet or on the mat rather than hunting for finishes off his back.
No opponent, date or event has been attached to his next fight.
Why it matters
- The call from Campbell signals the UFC values fighters who accept late-notice assignments.
- Dumas keeps his place on the roster after a 10-6-0 run, giving him a chance to build on his current form.
- His mix of takedown pressure and volume striking at 44 percent accuracy offers matchmakers a flexible option when a card needs a fill-in.
