We have you covered for all of today’s Noche UFC 3 results, including the catchweight bout between Kelvin Gastelum and Dustin Stoltzfus.
Gastelum (19-10 MMA) missed the middleweight limit by a whopping 5.5lbs on Friday, and thus the fight was moved to a catchweight. ‘KG’ will be competing for the first time since losing a decision to Joe Pyfer back at June’s UFC 316 event. The former TUF winner has gone 2-3 over his past five Octagon appearances overall.
Meanwhile, Dusitn Stoltzfus (16-7 MMA) will be looking to return to the win column this afternoon in Texas. The 33-year-old most recently competed at May’s UFC Vegas 106 event, where he dropped a decision to Nursulton Ruziboev. Prior to that setback, Stoltzfus was coming off a knockout victory over Marc-Andre Barriault.
