Mansur Abdul-Malik (3-1-1 in the UFC) will face Dustin Stoltzfus (3-7 in the UFC) at UFC 330 on August 15. The bout is scheduled for the middleweight division.
Mansur Abdul-Malik and Dustin Stoltzfus are set to collide at middleweight when UFC 330 takes place on August 15, with the matchup officially confirmed as of June 18, 2026.
Abdul-Malik enters the fight as one of the more promising names in the 185-pound division. The 28-year-old American carries an overall record of 9-1-1 and has gone 3-1-1 inside the UFC while training out of MMA Masters. Standing six-foot-two with an 80-inch reach, he presents a significant physical profile for the weight class. He lands 3.28 significant strikes per minute at 44 percent accuracy, and while his submission attempts are relatively rare at 0.3 per 15 minutes, he does mix in takedowns at a rate of 1.65 per 15 minutes.
Stoltzfus, a 34-year-old orthodox fighter from the United States representing Frankers Fight Team, brings a 16-8-0 professional record to the cage, with a 3-7 mark in UFC competition. At six feet tall with a 75-inch reach, he is measurably outreached by his opponent. Stoltzfus has shown consistent grappling activity, averaging 2.08 takedowns and 1.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes, giving him legitimate finishing ability on the mat. He also produces 3.3 significant strikes per minute at 45 percent accuracy, making him a credible threat in both phases.
Why it matters
- Abdul-Malik is looking to build momentum at 185 pounds after a mixed stretch in his UFC tenure
- Stoltzfus's active grappling game poses a direct challenge to Abdul-Malik's superior reach and striking frame
- A win for either fighter could help establish clearer footing in a crowded middleweight division
