As part of the main fight of the UFC on ESPN 26 tournament, Brazilian Rodolfo Vieira and Dustin Stoltzfus will fight against each other. On whose side will the victory be in the upcoming confrontation?
Rodolfo Vieira (Brazil)
Vieira has an excellent track record in mixed martial arts. The 31-year-old athlete from Brazil started his career late, and managed to hold only eight meetings in the octagon. It is worth noting that he won 7 battles. Rodolfo has an excellent base of techniques, ideally owns jiu-jitsu, and also prefers to fight in the stalls. He got all his victories in the UFC exclusively by knockout. In the last February appearance in the whip, the Brazilian sensationally lost to Anthony Hernandez, having fallen for a choke reception in the second round.
Dustin Stoltzfus (USA)
As for the American Dustin Stoltzfus, he has a good personal record, numbering 13 wins and 2 losses. The American performed in minor promotions at home and managed to make his debut in the UFC only in 2020. He has held only one fight so far, in which he lost on points to Kyle Daukas. It is worth noting the fact that the US representative has an excellent striking technique and moves well around the cage. At the same time, sometimes he feels constrained, which indicates a small experience of the American's performances in the UFC.
Forecast
We are waiting for an evening of early victories. Most likely, Stoltzfus will become a punching bag for Vieira. The Brazilian is too good, and has already proved his intentions to everyone in the cage before. It seems to me that Rodolfo will be happy to rehabilitate himself in front of the fans for the only defeat in the UFC that happened at the end of winter.
