Check out Adam Catterall's latest tips and prediction for the middleweight showdown between Mansur Abdul-Malik and Dustin Stoltzfus at UFC 330 on Saturday night.
Mansur Abdul-Malik vs Dustin Stoltzfus Prediction and Tips
Mansur Abdul-Malik by KO, TKO, DQ and Round 1 - 53/20
Mansur Abdul-Malik will look to get his ascent up the middleweight division back on track when he takes on Dustin Stoltzfus on the UFC 330 main card on Saturday night.
The Dana White's Contender Series alum had announced himself at 185lbs by going unbeaten in his first four UFC fights, with three of those wins coming inside the distance.
However, a third-round TKO loss to rising contender Yousri Belgaroui has forced Abdul-Malik return to the drawing board and he will look to get back to winning ways when he faces Stoltzfus at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
A veteran of ten trips to the Octagon, Stoltzfus is a tough customer but according to MMA expert Adam Catterall Abdul-Malik should have what it takes to get his hand raised.
"Stoltzfus is always in fun fights and I think that this is going to be fun as well," Catterall said on bet365 Cageside. "The only problem is Abdul-Malik cracks like a truck.
"I know that he's coming off his first-ever loss in the UFC so from a mental point of view you're going to think, how is he going to approach this? Where's his head going to be at?
"I think he'll bounce back well. He's under the tutelage of Eric Nicksick and he's a very very talented fighter.
"When you are fighting somebody that does leave so many holes like Dustin Stoltzfus does, in order for him to be so entertaining on the offence he leaves defensive gaps - I think Abdul-Malik will find those gaps.
"I'm going for an explosion in this particular fight. Mansur Abdul-Malik will win this by knockout in the very first round."
