When I saw this fight while doing the graphics I had a similar reaction to when I saw the Melk Costa fight. Just instantly knew I was picking Nursulton. He is massive, well rounded, has a chin and plenty of power. His only UFC loss was to Joaquim Buckley which is not only a credible loss, but it was also at 170 which is insane considering Nursulton's frame. I expect Nursulton to be patient like his last fight, eat a few shots, then pour it on later. Nursulton is the pick and -280 feels affordable.
Nursulton Ruziboev
Nursulton Ruziboez is a wrestling and grappling beast who has been showcasing his hands in the UFC. We haven't seen much wrestling out of him in the Octagon, but on the regional scene he was a non stop wrestler who would get you to the ground any way that he needs to. On the ground he is very aggressive and always transitioning while looking for a finish. But on his feet he is a little more patient and calculated where he waits for openings then fires right hands down the middle. He is a massive 6'5 and carries that size well.
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 11 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 first round KO win over Marc-Andre Barriault
