Mansur Abdul-Malik is someone the UFC believes in, which is why after his first loss, they are giving him someone they think he can beat. And I agree with them. I think this is a perfect rebound matchup for Mansur. Because Dustin is good enough to not just roll over and he will bring the fight, but not good enough to win here. With Mansur coming off that loss to Yoursi, I think he wrestles early and gets after it. I think we get the D1 wrestling version of Mansur and the TKO loss was a nice reset. So he is definitely the pick and I am pretty confident there.

Mansur Abdul-Malik

Mansur Abdul-Malik is a very good grappler with D1 college wrestling experience. He comes forward, throws heavy and then wrestles. His takedowns are big and clean and his striking is powerful. He does a nice job lifting when he needs to and has great control on the ground. He also has great elbows from top and will work. He is coming off the TKO loss to Yoursi Belagouri where he had zero success on the feet and even a handful of takedowns couldn't keep it close.

Dustin Stoltzfus

Dustin Stoltzfus is a busy striker with very good power. He has a BJJ black belt and has been wrestling more as of late with 8 takedowns in his last 5 fights. He likes to hang out and strike inside the pocket as well which isn't always the best idea because he has a questionable chin. His record is spotty and he does get finished, but his losses are to quality opponents and he is beating the people he should beat. He is coming off the Noche UFC loss to Kelvin Gastelum.
