Draws Saint-Denis in June
Stolze will take on Benoit Saint-Denis in a welterweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for June 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Stolze is 0-2 under the UFC banner, most recently getting finished by Jared Gordon just over a minute into their July 2021 matchup. That followed up a lackluster debut effort from the previous July in which Stolze was only able to land 30 significant strikes in his 15-minute debut against Ramazan Emeev, ceding 6:50 worth of control time. Needless to say, Stolze needs a bounce-back effort here against Saint-Denis, who displayed legendary toughness in his debut against Lizeu Zaleski dos Santos last October, even thought the fight wasn't the least bit competitive.

Lasts 68 seconds in Vegas
Stolze lost to Jared Gooden via TKO (punches) at 1:08 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 28 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This bout appeared to be cancelled as recently as this morning due to a COVID-19 protocol breach, but the Nevada Athletic Commission ultimately gave the go ahead to proceed. Stolze lasted all of 68 seconds. Gooden connected with a short right hand that floored Stolze, and the latter was unable to recover. Stolze's UFC run is already on life support after just two bouts with the company. He dropped a decision to Ramazan Emeev in his debut in July 2020 and certainly needs a victory his next time out in order to save his job.
