Currently in custody, Dumas is being held on $558,500 bond.
Sadly, this is far from the first time Dumas has run into trouble with the law. It's not even his first time getting arrested as a UFC fighter, as he also faced a 2024 battery charge. In fact, there was already a collection of his previous mugshots circulating around MMA Twitter, though it'll have to be updated. According to Ben Davis, this is Dumas' 15th arrest since 2014.
Just a couple weeks ago at UFC 314, Dumas was quickly flattened by Polish power puncher Michal Oleksiejczuk (watch here). His overall UFC record stands at 3-3 with zero finish victories. The promotion has yet to release an official statement, but I would be surprised if his UFC contract lasts another 48 hours.
Given his history, the question is how he signed on in the first place and exactly what kind of background checks does the promotion employ. Is the Middleweight division truly so desperate for bodies that Dumas was ever a necessary member of the roster?

UFC Abu Dhabi live updates: Robert Whittaker vs. Reinier de Ridder results, round-by-round analysis, highlights
Uncrowned has UFC Abu Dhabi live results, round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Robert Whittaker vs. Reinier de Ridder fight card on Saturday afternoon at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Former UFC middleweight champion Whittaker continues his pursuit of another title shot when he takes on rising contender de Ridder in a five-round main event, while ex-champ Petr Yan faces off against Marcus McGhee in the three-round bantamweight co-headliner. Whittaker (26-8) has long been a staple of the upper echelon of the UFC's middleweight division. Known either as "The Reaper" or "Bobby Knuckles" depending on your flavor, the New Zealand native captured the UFC middleweight championship in 2017 amid a career-best nine-fight win streak that propelled him up the pound-for-pound ranks. Since losing his belt in 2019 at the hands of Israel Adesanya, Whittaker has continued to compete at an elite level, falling short only against Adesanya for a second time and the division's two next title competitors: UFC champ Dricus du Plessis and, most recently, Khamzat Chimaev, De Ridder (20-2) has gold in his past as well. A native of the Netherlands who goes by the moniker "The Dutch Knight," de Ridder was a two-division titleholder for ONE Championship before exiting the promotion in 2024 following back-to-back losses to Anatoly Malykhin. De Ridder has already hit the ground running in his new home though, racking up a sterling 4-0 run under the umbrella, culminating with his stunning upset of Bo Nickal this past May. With another win over a middleweight legend like Whittaker, de Ridder could quickly find himself in the conversation for title contention at 185 pounds. The UFC Abu Dhabi start time for the preliminary card is at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN+. The main card begins live at 3 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN+.
