Struggles continue in Vegas
Dumas lost to Jackson McVey via submission (Brabo Choke) at 2:14 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Dumas has been trending in the wrong direction for the better part of the last two-plus years, and this may have been the final straw. He was completely dominated by an opponent that hadn't been competitive in each of his first two UFC fights. Dumas was dropped with an uppercut along the fence before being choked out. The fight was essentially over the second he hit the mat. Dumas is 1-4 (1NC) in his past six fights, with all of the defeats coming via stoppage, including three in Round 1.

Facing McVey in April
Dumas will take on Jackson McVey at a UFC event in Las Vegas on April 25, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Dumas will head into the bout looking to bounce back after his recent defeat at the hands of Donte Johnson in November. The 30-year-old American owns a reach advantage but will give up a couple inches in height compared to the younger fighter from Arizona. Dumas has a fairly balanced professional record across finishes, giving him versatility in his approach to this fight, but he will have to remain wary of McVey's stopping power (3-0 professional record in KO/TKO finishes).

Struggles continue in Vegas
Dumas lost to Donte Johnson via submission (ninja choke) at 1:25 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
There isn't much reason for the company to continue running Dumas out there between his issues outside the Octagon and his struggles in it, but company brass insists on doing so and continues to get performances like this. Dumas got blitzed with a handful of power shots from Johnson and allowed three takedowns for 3:04 worth of control time in the six-plus minutes the fight lasted. Since winning two of his first three fights with the company, it's all fallen apart for Sedriques in the past 18 months or so. He's just 1-3 (1NC) in his past five fights, with all three losses coming via stoppage.

Short-notice fight scheduled
Dumas is scheduled against Donte Johnson in a middleweight fight at UFC Vegas 110 on Nov. 1, according to Mike Heck of MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Ideally for Dumas, UFC Vegas 110 finally sees some stability to his 2025. He suffered a TKO loss to Michal Oleksiejczuk in April and was arrested less than a month later. Before and after the spring, Dumas underweight multiple fight cancellations and an accidental foul while fighting Zachary Reese.

Victim of accidental foul
Dumas and Zachary Reese fought to a no contest (accidental foul) at 0:51 of Round 1 at UFC Noche on Saturday in San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
There isn't much to break down with this one. Dumas absorbed a low blow about a minute into the fight and immediately dropped to the ground in agony. He still couldn't stand up after several minutes, and that was that. Look for the UFC to try to re-book this matchup as soon as Dumas is healthy enough for action.
