Facing Ferreira in June
MiddleweightUFC
April 4, 2024
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.

Gets right back in win column

December 2, 2023
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.

Stoltzfus will fight Punahele Soriano on Dec. 2 at a UFC event, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stoltzfus is fresh off a 19-second loss to Abusupiyan Magomedov in Sept. of 2022 and is 1-4 in his last five bouts. He'll face off against Soriano, who owns a 3-3 record.
Lasts 19 seconds in Paris
MiddleweightUFC
September 3, 2022
Stoltzfus lost to Abusupiyan Magomedov via TKO (strikes) at 0:19 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Not good. Stoltzfus entered as a +245 underdog, so he was by no means expected to win this fight, but it would have been nice if he could have lasted a bit longer than 19 seconds. Dustin was kicked in the face moments after the opening bell rang, and one additional uppercut from the debuting Magomedov turned his lights out for good. Stoltzfus earned a stay of execution following his unanimous decision win over Dwight Grant this past July, but this train wreck of a performance drops his record to 1-4 in his past five fights dating back to November 2020, and there's certainly a chance Stoltzfus could find himself on the chopping block.
Steps in to fight Magomedov

July 22, 2022
Stoltzfus agreed to face Abusupiyan Magomedov in a middleweight bout at UFC Paris on Sept. 3, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Stoltzfus is fresh off a unanimous decision win over Dwight Grant last week, which broke a string of three straight losses to begin his UFC career. Makhmud Muradov was forced to pull out for undisclosed reasons after originally lining up as Magomedov's opponent. Magomedov is slated to make his debut in the promotion, which has been pushed back multiple times since signing with the UFC in September 2021.
Snaps three-fight losing streak
MiddleweightUFC
July 16, 2022
Stoltzfus defeated Dwight Grant via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ABC 3 on Saturday on Long Island.
ANALYSIS
A loser of three straight bouts and almost certainly fighting for his job in this one, Stoltzfus went out and secured a win. A grappler who struggles in prolonged striking exchanges, Stoltzfus finally found his groove in Rounds 2 and 3 when he was able to get Grant to the mat. He nearly ended the fight with some vicious ground-and-pound late in the second frame before putting forth more good work over the course of the final five minutes. It's highly unlikely this victory is the start of a streak for Stoltzfus considering what we have seen from him recently, but the victory should ensure he gets another fight with the UFC.
