Norma Dumont appears to be one step closer to securing a women’s bantamweight title shot, as she took care of business with a controversial win over Ketlen Vieira in a contenders battle during the UFC Vegas 110 prelims.

I don't care about takedowns if no damage is done on the ground. Norma Dumont won this fight. #UFC

After some quiet back and forth striking during the first round, Vieira scored a takedown with about 90 seconds left in the frame. She managed to flatten Dumont out and threatened an arm-triangle choke a couple of times, but Dumont was able to survive.

Dumont seemed to get the better of Vieira on the feet again in the second round, this time with more considerable effectiveness in her striking. Again, however, Dumont struggled in the last two minutes of the round after being taken down. Vieira pressed Dumont into the fence to start off the third round, holding her there for half the round, until Dumont was able to work herself off.

It was the right decision. Vieira won Round 1 clearly, and Dumont won Round 3 clearly.

It all came down to Round 2, and Dumont did more damage and landed more than Vieira. No robbery here. #UFCVegas110 https://t.co/Ey697KLhlr

Dumont didn’t deliver flurries in the closing minutes of the fight; however, it was enough to sweep the third round and score a split decision win.
