“We’ve fixed some things like putting more pressure, not minding the referee’s interruptions. I was able to work more on that, to put more pressure and not leave it in the hands of the judges. That’s what we’ll bring, what we’ve trained in this camp, and what we’ll implement in this fight.”
This fight, against the aforementioned Wolf, is a little different than the matchups she’s used to. At age 39, Wolf has only one MMA fight on her record: her contract-winning performance on Dana White’s Contender Series.

“I respect Danyelle a lot,” says Dumont. “She doesn’t have a lot of MMA fights, but she has boxing experience.
“We’ve focused on her strengths in our camp, but her game has holes, as well, and that’s what we always try to exploit. We’ll always work wherever my opponent feels uncomfortable. However, I also have a lot of striking fights, so that’s my specialty. I have around 30 striking fights, so that doesn’t really scare me. I’m aware of the dangers.”
