Mais c&rsquo;est en Europe, pas dans les salles am\u00e9ricaines classiques, qu&rsquo;il s&rsquo;est forg\u00e9 son bagage de combattant. Apr\u00e8s des \u00e9tudes \u00e0 l&rsquo;Universit\u00e9 Johannes Gutenberg de Mayence (master en traduction), il encha\u00eene les combats sur le circuit allemand We Love MMA et Fair FC, compilant un record de 12-1 avec deux d\u00e9fenses du titre poids moyen FFA \u00e0 la clef. Il parle plusieurs langues, ceinture noire de Luta Livre, ceinture violette de BJJ, ceinture rouge de Tang Soo Do \u2014 autant de couches techniques qui fa\u00e7onnent un profil difficile \u00e0 cataloguer.<\/p>\n<h3>Le ticket UFC via Contender Series<\/h3>\n<p>En ao\u00fbt 2020, Stoltzfus d\u00e9croche son contrat UFC \u00e0 la dure. Face \u00e0 Joe Pyfer au Contender Series 28 (11 ao\u00fbt 2020), il s&rsquo;impose par TKO et retient l&rsquo;attention de Dana White. Pyfer sera plus tard class\u00e9 parmi les espoirs les plus s\u00e9rieux de la cat\u00e9gorie des poids moyens \u2014 battre ce type-l\u00e0 n&rsquo;\u00e9tait pas anodin.<\/p>\n<h3>Un passage \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC entre coups d&rsquo;\u00e9clat et rechutes<\/h3>\n<p>Son debut \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC le 21 novembre 2020 face \u00e0 Kyle Daukaus tourne court : d\u00e9cision unanime en faveur de l&rsquo;Am\u00e9ricain. Suit une s\u00e9rie difficile \u2014 il se fait soumettre par Rodolfo Vieira (juillet 2021, UFC Vegas 31) puis par Gerald Meerschaert (d\u00e9cembre 2021). La bonne nouvelle arrive en juillet 2022 avec une victoire aux points contre Dwight Grant (UFC on ABC 3), mais le rebond s&rsquo;arr\u00eate l\u00e0 : Abusupiyan Magomedov le couche en 19 secondes en septembre 2022, KO brutal au premier round.<\/p>\n<p>Stoltzfus a pourtant montr\u00e9 qu&rsquo;il pouvait finir proprement. En d\u00e9cembre 2023, il soumet Punahele Soriano au deuxi\u00e8me round et empoche un bonus Performance de la nuit. En novembre 2024, il met KO Marc-Andr\u00e9 Barriault \u00e0 4:28 du premier round, encore un bonus. Deux performances convaincantes qui rappellent que le gars peut stopper les lumi\u00e8res quand il est dans son match.<\/p>\n<h3>Style et identit\u00e9<\/h3>\n<p>Stoltzfus a construit son jeu autour du muay thai debout avec un grappling polyvalent h\u00e9rit\u00e9 de la Luta Livre. Son taux de finition reste \u00e9lev\u00e9 c\u00f4t\u00e9 victoires (soumissions et KO), mais sa d\u00e9fense \u2014 48 % de coups significatifs d\u00e9fendus \u2014 lui a souvent co\u00fbt\u00e9 cher face aux strikers de haut niveau de la division. Envergure de 191 cm pour 1,83 m au compteur, il combat dans les poids moyens (85 kg).<\/p>\n<h3>Statut actuel<\/h3>\n<p>Son record UFC affiche 3 victoires pour 7 d\u00e9faites. Les deux derniers combats en 2025 \u2014 d\u00e9faites aux points face \u00e0 Nursulton Ruziboev (mai 2025) puis Kelvin Gastelum (septembre 2025) \u2014 ont fragilis\u00e9 sa position sur le roster. Record global au 20 juin 2026 : 16 victoires, 8 d\u00e9faites.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dustin_Stoltzfus\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/dustin-stoltzfus\">UFC.com<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dustin Stoltzfus, poids moyen am\u00e9ricain (16-8), s&rsquo;est forg\u00e9 en Europe avant l&rsquo;UFC.
