Rodolfo Vieira vs. Dustin Stoltzfus targeted for UFC event on July 17

Rodolfo Vieira will look to bounce back from the first loss of his professional MMA career.

Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between Vieira and Dustin Stoltzfus will take place at the UFC’s event on July 17 at a location and venue yet to be announced.

After a pair of submission wins to kick off his UFC career, Vieira entered his most recent bout as high as a -500 favorite as he took on Anthony Hernandez at UFC 258. After nearly getting a submission win early, Vieira was unable to close the show, which led to Hernandez mounting a memorable comeback and submitting the Brazilian in the second round.
