Dustin Stoltzfus

USA

Pulls upset in enemy territory
MiddleweightUFC
November 2, 2024
Stoltzfus defeated Marc-Andre Barriault via KO (punches) at 4:28 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Edmonton.
ANALYSIS
It was a dominant showing for Stoltzfus from start to finish in enemy territory. He spent most of the lone frame dominating Barriault on the mat. He nearly earned the submission win but couldn't quite close the show. Barriault was eventually able to work his way back to his feet, at which point Dustin unloaded a sweeping right hand which found the mark and closed the show in an instant. Stoltzfus is little more than roster depth, having alternated wins and losses in his past six bouts, but he's clearly capable of highlight reel performances once in a while. When that will actually happen is anyone's guess.

Stoltzfus will face Marc-Andre Barriault in a middleweight contest at UDC Edmonton on November 2, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
After a strong start in his previous fight, Stoltzfus was defeated via KO near the end of Round 1 by Bruno Ferreira. Dustin has won two and lost two of his previous four bouts and will surely look to bounce back against Marc-Andre Barriault, who is coming of back-to-back losses.

Stoltzfus lost to Brunno Ferreira via KO (elbow) at 4:51 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.
ANALYSIS
Stoltzfus is going to be kicking himself following this defeat, and rightfully so. He was doing quite well the vast majority of Round 1 despite entering as a +215 underdog. Yet, once the bout became a wild, back-and-forth brawl in the final stages of the frame, Stoltzfus folded, with a ridiculous spinning elbow finally putting him down for good. Dustin falls to 2-2 in his past four fights, and while that doesn't seem all that great, keep in mind this is a guy that lost each of his first three bouts with the company.

Stoltzfus will face Brunno Ferreira in a middleweight contest at the UFC event scheduled for June 8, per Combat Sports Today.
ANALYSIS
Stoltzfus will find his way back into the Octagon for the first time since a second-round submission victory over Punahele Soriano in December. Though the six-foot American will have a slight reach advantage over the smaller Brazilian, Ferreira has the knockout power to stop larger fighters in their tracks. Stoltzfus will hope to continue his winning ways after overcoming a 1-4 stretch in his bouts prior to Soriano.

Stoltzfus defeated Punahele Soriano via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:10 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Austin, Texas
ANALYSIS
A loser of three of his first four UFC bouts and fresh off a 19-second beating at the hands of Abusupiyan Magomedov in September 2022, no fighter on the card needed a strong performance more than Stoltzfus. He got it. Recognizing a hole in Soriano's wrestling game, Dustin fired off seven takedowns, landing four. While Soriano faded as the fight progressed, Stoltzfus got stronger, eventually closing the show with the rear-naked choke late in Round 2. It should be more than enough to ensure Dustin receives another fight with the company and would also go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
