Hopefully his “show” purse was enough to prevent a potential overdraft, since the “No Contest” against Reese robbed Dumas of his chance to secure a win bonus.
“No, I did not want a ‘No Contest,’ but we both want a rematch,” Dumas wrote on Instagram. “I didn’t want the fight to end that way. I know some people are saying the injury was fake, but the truth is I took a real shot to the groin — and that’s part of being in the fight business. Things happen. Hopefully, Zach Reese and I can run it back. In due time, we’ll make it happen, and it’ll be fun to do it the right way.”
“Stay tuned, because I’m bringing something new to the table,” Dumas continued. ”I wish I could’ve shown that [on Saturday] night. Thank you to the UFC, my manager, my team, and of course my kids. Just stay tuned. Hopefully we’ll get that rematch and a turnaround ASAP. I just need to do a follow-up with the doctor in a week. I still haven’t been able to pee yet, but hopefully everything checks out and we’ll have fight news.“
