Norma Dumont suffered a controversial defeat to her rival, Ailin Perez , at UFC Vegas 121, held last Saturday (26). The result generated a strong reaction from the Brazilian, who questioned the unanimous decision of the judges and also revealed that she was disappointed with an attitude of Amanda Nunes.
In an interview with Laerte Viana's YouTube channel, available this Monday (28), Norma revealed that her relationship with the former UFC champion changed completely after the episode. The Chute Boxe athlete said that she made a decision about the contact she maintained with Amanda and explained the reasons that led her to change her stance.

“I completely lost respect (for Amanda Nunes ). A person can't shake your hand, look you in the eye, and then stab you in the back online out of nowhere. I followed her, we talked, but I've cut everything off. There was no reason for her to do that, I never disrespected her, quite the opposite,” said Norma Dumont.
Message from Amanda Nunes after the fight.
"I really thought they would fight today," Amanda Nunes said on her X (former Twitter account) after the fight.
