LAS VEGAS – Dana White’s Contender Series returned Tuesday with five fights on ESPN+ from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas – and all five walked away with UFC contracts. In the featured fight of the night, middleweight Dustin Stoltzfus (13-1) picked up a victory over Joe Pyfer (7-2) in odd fashion. Pyfer was the one walking forward in the early going, but Stoltzfus landed several hard low kicks as he retreated. Pyfer appeared the bigger man and was powerful with his hands when he let them go, but Stoltzfus was certainly doing some damage to the legs. The fight transitioned to the floor late in the frame, and Pyfer took top position, posturing and looking to strike.
