Winner: Kelvin Gastelum

Confidence Score: 80

Kelvin Gastelum holds key advantages in this matchup: he has more UFC experience, a better level of competition faced, and superior defensive stats. His significant strike defense (57%) and takedown defense (59%) are notably higher than Stoltzfus' (47% and 47%). Gastelum also has a proven five-round cardio and durability, as shown by his average fight time (13:40) compared to Stoltzfus (9:18). While Stoltzfus has dangerous finishing ability, Gastelum has only been finished by elite competition. Historically, fighters with Gastelum's combination of boxing and defensive wrestling have a high success rate against Muay Thai-based fighters with lower takedown defense and less UFC experience. Recent form for both is mixed, but Gastelum's losses have come against higher-level opposition. Overall, Gastelum's experience, defensive skills, and proven ability to handle pressure make him the more reliable pick.
