Sedriques Dumas - News & Rumors - UFC

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 they insist on doing so and get performances like this for their troubles. 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.

Impact 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.

Impact There isn't much to breakdown 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.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finally schedules next bout Dumas (undisclosed) will face Zachary Reese at Noche UFC on Sep. 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Impact The 6-foot-2 middleweight will finally return to the octagon, barring any setbacks, after stepping out of his scheduled fight against Jackson McVey back in June. Dumas was arrested in May which could have contributed to his dropout and delayed scheduling, but it appears he has everything figured out now ahead of September. He'll aim for his first win of 2025 against Reese, who is 3-2 in the UFC.

JULY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for UFC 317 Dumas (undisclosed) will no longer face Jackson McVey in a middleweight bout at UFC 317 in Las Vegas, per Nolan King of USA Today.

Impact It's unclear at this juncture why Dumas has stepped out of the fight on four days' notice. He'll be replaced by UFC newcomer Christoper Ewert.

JUNE 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scheduled against UFC debutant Dumas (not injury related) is scheduled to compete against fellow middleweight Jackson McVey at UFC 317 on June 28, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact April arrest and charges aside, Dumas will be back in a UFC octagon before 2025's second half. He takes on a promotion debutant both 6-0 and without any decision wins.

JUNE 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Arrested on multiple counts Dumas was arrested and detained in April on charges including home invasion, battery and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com reports.

Impact Dumas last competed in April, when he was stopped in the first round by Michal Oleksiejczuk to drop his second fight in his last three trips to the Octagon. The UFC has historically not punished fighters for any type of non-fight-related misconduct outside of the organization and will presumably let the legal process play out. Don't expect a booking for Dumas any time soon, however, as he remains in policy custody with his next court date set for May 23.

No-shows UFC 314 defeat Dumas lost to Michal Oleksiejczuk via TKO (strikes) at 2:49 of Round 1 at UFC 314 on Saturday in Miami.

Impact It was a dreadful performance from Dumas. He appeared jumpy and out of sorts from the very start and was never able to get on track. He was eventually dropped by a combination and finished with a barrage of follow-up shots. Dumas was visibly upset with the stoppage, but referee Marc Goddard gave him multiple chances to get his act together and it clearly wasn't happening. The definition of roster depth, Dumas is sporting a 3-3 record in his first half dozen UFC bouts.
