Dustin Stoltzfus - News & Rumors - UFC | FOX Sports

Hang tough against heavy opponent Stoltzfus lost to Kelvin Gastelum via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Noche on Saturday in San Antonio.

Impact While the result clearly wasn't what Stoltzfus was looking for, there's a real chance it's going to go down as the most lucrative night of his career to date. He's going to walk away with a whopping 35 percent of Gastelum's purse after the latter missed weight by a ridiculous five pounds on Friday morning. This was also a highly competitive bout that stands a good chance of earning Fight of the Night honors. If that's indeed the case, Gastelum will be ineligible due to the weight miss, so Dustin would walk away with the full amount. On a large scale, Stoltzfus has lost two straight and three of four and likely needs a win next time out in order to save his roster spot.

Taking on Gastelum Stoltzfus will face Kelvin Gastelum in a welterweight bout at Noche UFC on September 13 in San Antonio, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Stoltzfus is in desperate need of a win. He dropped his last bout at the hands of Nursulton Ruziboev via unanimous decision, and that dropped his UFC record to a dismal 3-6. He's alternated wins and losses in his last seven fights, so if history repeats itself, he's due for a win. Stoltzfus will be fighting with his back against the wall and has three inches of both height and reach on Gastelum.

Toughness on display in defeat Stoltzfus lost to Nursulton Ruziboev via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact Stoltzfus is ridiculously tough and has proven time and time again he's willing to stand in there and mix it up against anyone, even a stone-cold killer like Ruziboev. Dustin absorbed far too many big blows on the feet and was consistently outmuscled at the point of attack, but that didn't stop him from landing a pair of takedowns and threatening with a couple deep submission attempts. Neither ended up materializing, but this was a closer and more competitive fight than the scorecards would lead you to believe. Stoltzfus is a valued member of the UFC roster, but at age 33 and having alternated wins and losses in his past seven fights, he isn't any sort of contender.
