Takes decision in Abu Dhabi opener
Dumas defeated Denis Tiuliulin via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
It was a thoroughly underwhelming performance from Dumas despite the fact he got the win. Facing an opponent who entered having suffered three straight stoppage defeats, Dumas' most effective offensive attack was pinning Tiuliulin up against the cage. He also tired significantly in Round 3, losing the frame on two of the three scorecards. Dumas is athletic and a reasonably effective striker, but he doesn't appear to have one single elite skill to fall back upon in the event of trouble. Dumas has fought a whopping five times since debuting in March 2023. He's 3-2 with the UFC.

Scheduled against Tiuliulin
Dumas is scheduled to compete against Denis Tiuliulin in a middleweight fight at UFC Abu Dhabi on Aug. 3, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Dumas and Tiuliulin were scheduled to fight at UFC Saudi Arabia, which will go on without them. However, both were willing to re-schedule their fight for another date, hence Abu Dhabi getting the nod. Dumas will look to redeem himself after a quick finish at the hands of Nursulton Ruziboev.

Quickly finished in AC
Dumas lost to Nursulton Ruziboev via KO (punches) at 3:18 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlantic City.
ANALYSIS
Expect an appeal from Dumas and his team following this one. They may have a case. Sedriques did not look good against a quality opponent, but upon video review, it certainly appeared as if a rake of the eyes played a major factor in the sequence that ended the fight. A potential change to a no-contest is a best-case scenario for Dumas, as he almost certainly appeared to be well on his way to a defeat had this bout continued. For now, the 28-year-old Floridian falls to 2-2 in his first four UFC bouts.
