A look into Dustin Stoltzfus' professional MMA career

Dustin Stoltzfus began training in mixed martial arts at a very young age. In 2014, he made his professional MMA debut in the regional circuit. After an impressive performance in these circuits, Stoltzfus received an opportunity to compete on Dana White's Contender Series in 2020.

Stoltzfus faced Joe Pyfer and won the fight via TKO, which earned him a contract with the UFC. However, his journey in the leading MMA promotion started on a challenging note, as he suffered consecutive defeats in his first three fights. Stoltzfus achieved his first UFC victory against Dwight Grant in 2022, but following that win, he continued to experience inconsistent form.

Heading into the Noche UFC fight against Kelvin Gastelum, Stoltzfus holds a record of 2-2 in his last four fights.
