Sedriques Dumas

Overview

Three UFC wins, all on the scorecards. Six UFC losses, none of them on the scorecards. That split is the whole story of Sedriques Dumas, "The Reaper," a Light Heavyweight out of Witness Martial Arts.

His UFC record is 3-6 with one no contest, and he carries a four-fight losing streak into his next fight. The wins have all gone the distance. The losses have all ended early.

UFC Career

Dumas came to the UFC after a first-round submission of Matej Penaz in 0:47 on Dana White's Contender Series 6.6. That fight counts on his professional record but not his UFC record. His UFC debut came in March 2023 and ended in a second-round submission loss to Josh Fremd.

The best stretch followed. Dumas beat Cody Brundage and Abu Azaitar, both by unanimous decision, for the longest win streak of his UFC run at two. A Nursulton Ruziboev knockout in the first round, 3:18 in, ended it. He answered with another unanimous decision, over Denis Tiuliulin in August 2024.

That was the last win. Michal Oleksiejczuk stopped him in the first round at UFC 314. His fight with Zachary Reese was ruled a no contest 0:51 into the first round. Since then, three straight submission losses: Donte Johnson in the second round, Jackson McVey in the first, and Luis Hernandez in the first, at 0:57.

Nine UFC fights, no UFC finish. Six times he was the one finished.

Fighting Style

Dumas is a low-volume striker who doesn't throw much offense. He also absorbs far fewer strikes than most, and his accuracy and defense sit around the UFC average, so the quiet output comes from how little he throws, not from sloppy striking.

The grappling is where he struggles. He rarely shoots for takedowns, gets taken down more than most, and almost never hunts for submissions himself. That matches the loss column: four of his six UFC losses are submissions, and the other two are knockouts.

All three of his UFC wins have come by decision, and he has no finishes in the promotion.
