Navajo Stirling
Career overview
Navajo Stirling is an undefeated light heavyweight prospect from an Orthodox stance, holding a perfect 9-0 professional record with five consecutive wins. Standing 6'4" with a 79-inch reach, Stirling operates as a volume striker with modest output, landing 6.25 strikes per minute at 52% accuracy while maintaining solid striking defense at 58%.
His takedown game remains underdeveloped, averaging just 0.98 attempts per 15 minutes with 28% accuracy, though he defends takedowns effectively at 82%, suggesting he prefers to keep fights standing. With a notable 17.0 knockout score and zero submission averages throughout his career, Stirling has demonstrated finishing power in recent outings, including a second-round TKO of Phillip Latu in September 2024 and a second-round stoppage of Bruno Lopes in March 2026.
However, he has also shown durability and fight IQ in decision victories over Ivan Erslan, Tuco Tokkos, and Rodolfo Bellato, winning all three unanimously. His cardio score of 54 suggests moderate conditioning, which may become a factor as competition intensifies.
Stirling's undefeated record and finishing ability position him as an emerging talent in the division, though his modest striking volume and lack of grappling development will need refinement against elite-level opposition.
