Dustin Stoltzfus

Dustin Stoltzfus is a 32-year-old American middleweight with a professional record of 16-8, currently riding a two-win, six-loss stretch in his recent UFC tenure. Fighting out of an orthodox stance, Stoltzfus operates as a well-rounded mixed martial artist who balances striking with grappling exchanges.

His career averages reveal a measured striker landing 3.30 strikes per minute at 45% accuracy while absorbing 3.23 per minute, complemented by a takedown average of 2.08 per 15 minutes at 37% accuracy and a submission threat of 1.1 per 15 minutes. His striking defense sits at 47%, suggesting vulnerability to volume output, while his 46% takedown defense indicates moderate difficulty controlling opponents on the mat.

Recent performances have been inconsistent: a knockout victory over Marc-Andre Barriault in November 2024 showcased his finishing potential, but he subsequently fell to Nursulton Ruziboev via decision in May 2025 and most recently lost a unanimous decision to Kelvin Gastelum in September 2025. Stoltzfus's cardio score of 44.8 raises durability concerns over extended rounds, a factor that has surfaced in several decision losses.

With limited ranking prospects and mounting losses against ranked competition, Stoltzfus faces pressure to secure consecutive wins against lower-tier opposition to remain relevant in the middleweight division.
