It’s been five years and one month since Dustin Stoltzfus earned his UFC contract with an injury-stoppage win over Joe Pyfer on the fourth season of Dana White’s Contender Series. Remembered largely for the horrific arm injury Pyfer suffered, the four-minute-and-change skirmish also showcased the upside Stoltzfus brought to the table as well, with the Germany-based American displaying his active guard while creating the scramble that eventually led to his wrestling up, elevating Pyfer, and things ending the way they did.
This weekend, Stoltzfus makes his tenth trek into the Octagon in a clash with Kelvin Gastelum on the main card of Saturday’s Noche UFC event in San Antonio, Texas.
