Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Dustin Stoltzfus UFC 330 preview
Abdul-Malik (9-1-1 MMA, 3-1-1 UFC) aims to rebound from the first loss of his pro career, which came by third-round stoppage against Yousri Belgaroui in March. Prior to that, he submitted Antonio Trocoli in the first round at UFC 323.
Stoltzfus (16-8 MMA, 3-7 UFC) did not have a good 2025, as he dropped back-to-back outings against Nursulton Ruziboev and Kelvin Gastelum. His last win came in November 2024, when he stopped Marc-Andre Barriault in the opening round.
Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Dustin Stoltzfus UFC 330 expert pick, prediction
Filling out the main card and representing Mick Maynard's favorite division is a battle
between UFC middleweights, Mansur Abdul-Malik and Dustin Stoltzfus.
Despite Stoltzfus continuing to be slotted in B-side spots, the German-loving American has proven time and again that he is as game as anyone in this division. And though I could see a world where he's able to capitalize on an Abdul-Malik mistake, I'm not exactly going to be counting on it.
Abdul-Malik may be coming off a really rough loss to the rising Yousri Belgaroui, I believe that the prospect is in good hands with Eric Nicksick and company at Xtreme Couture MMA.
For that reason, I'll side with Abdul-Malik to apply some smart pressure and eventually find a finish in Round 2.
