It’s been a rough couple of days for UFC middleweight Sedriques Dumas, who was stretchered out of his Noche UFC 3 fight against Zachary Reese after an accidental groin kick sent “The Reaper” to a nearby hospital.
Not to be confused with the reaper Mark Hunt saw when “Super Samoan’s” dad was in the ER.
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.”

Dumas, 30, is 3-3 (1 NC) under the UFC banner and a graduate of Dana White’s “Contender Series.”
“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.“
