Abdul-Malik Looks to Rebound Against Stoltzfus at UFC 330

A chance for Abdul-Malik to reset after his first pro loss with Stoltzfus fighting to keep his UFC spot.

Overview

The middleweight bout between Mansur Abdul-Malik and Dustin Stoltzfus is set for Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026, at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on the UFC 330 card.
Abdul-Malik lost for the first time earlier this year via third-round stoppage to Yousri Belgaroui and says he will 'be myself' in this fight rather than chase perfection.
Betting markets make Abdul-Malik a heavy favorite, with FanDuel listing him at about -530, and several previews and pundits predict a knockout win for him.
Stoltzfus arrives on a two-fight skid after losses to Kelvin Gastelum and Nursulton Ruziboev, a run that outlets say puts his UFC tenure at risk if he loses again.
Style and stakes favor Abdul-Malik: he owns a 100 percent career finishing rate with seven KOs, an 80-inch reach and a wrestling base, while Stoltzfus is a more technical but less consistently explosive opponent whose career path could change depending on the result.
