Pensacola has produced greatness before. From Roy Jones Jr. to legends forged outside the spotlight, the city has never lacked talent. But when Sedriques Dumas steps into the UFC Octagon, he does so carrying something new. He is Pensacola’s first and only UFC fighter and to him, that means responsibility. “It means a lot to me,” Dumas says. “To be representing a place where a Hall of Famer like Roy Jones came from. I want to bring that fire and excitement back to the city.

UFC middleweight Sedriques Dumas has been arrested again, this time facing a series of serious criminal charges in Escambia County, Florida. The arrest took place on April 28, 2025, and marks the latest chapter in a troubled legal history for the fighter, who has now been arrested 14 times in the same county.
