DWIGHT GRANT VS DUSTIN STOLTZFUS LOWDOWN
After losing his last two fights, Dwight Grant (11-5) tries his hand 15 pounds up at middleweight. After squeaking past Stefan Sekulic (2021) in a split decision, he fell on the wrong side of one against Franciso Trinaldo (2021). He then got knocked out in the third round by Sergey Khandozhko back in April. It was the ‘Fight of the Night’ but it has forced up a class hoping for better fortunes.
Dustin Stoltzfus (13-4) has not experienced any fortunes in the UFC so yet. After he technically beat Joseph Pyfer on the Contender Series after he dislocated his elbow with a slam, he has gone on to lose all three of his UFC fights. To be fair, they were very tough matchups losing a unanimous decision against Kyle Daukaus (2020) and then getting submitted by Rodolfo Vieira (2021) and Gerald Meerschaert (2021).
DWIGHT GRANT VS DUSTIN STOLTZFUS PREDICTION
It is going to be very interesting to see Grant up at middleweight. He will be relatively undersized for the division, but that will only be evident when fighting grapplers. He has range and knockout power, so as long as he can keep the fight on the feet, he will be a threat.
He has one inch in height and reach over Stoltzfus who is also a very dangerous striker. We expect some fiery exchanges on the feet. Grant has more knockout power, but Stoltzfus is the more powerful man, and if he can get a hold of Grant, it could be a very long night for him.
As Stoltzfus is on a three-fight skid, we expect him to be more risk averse here and call upon his grappling. He is a good striker, but if he gets knocked out, it could well be curtains to his UFC career. We can see him grinding out a decision and is great value as the underdog and we feel he has a good chance in pulling off the upset.
