Navajo Stirling holds the #15 spot at light heavyweight, flying the flag for New Zealand — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.
On the feet he's a problem: 6.24 significant strikes a minute at 57% accuracy, and 60% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him. Add a 79" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Ion Cutelaba, KO/TKO (Punches) R2. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
Next up: Jan Blachowicz at UFC Fight Night: Medić vs. Rodriguez on August 1, 2026. Circle the date.
