Listen, Navajo Stirling is not who they said he was. He is not this kickboxing beast that will take the division by storm. Don't let Artem, BetSam or any of the other Kiwi's convince you that Navajo is a future world champion. He isn't. At least not now. What he is though is a decent fighter. He has good striking, solid takedown defense and as we saw in his last performance, solid offensive takedowns as well. Bellato is certainly the best fighter he has fought up until the point and we will see if the takedown defense really is good or if it only looked good against Tuco. The pick is going to be Navajo, I think he is the better fighter everywhere, but I am not expecting anything flashy or fun.

Navajo Stirling

Navajo Stirling is a former kickboxer who is early in his MMA career. As a kickboxer he does a lot of things you would expect. He has nice combinations, works kicks in well and will invest in the body early. He is not a high volume guy but he does a good job making the strikes he does throw meaningful. If he is inside the pocked he will plum your head and throw up knees. The takedown defense is decent and as we just saw in his last fight, the offense takedowns are there as well.

Rodolfo Bellato

Rodolfo Bellato is a heavy handed grappler who will come forward, bomb away and stick around for a slugfest, but he is a grappler and ultimately wants these fights on the ground. His takedowns could use some work but once it gets to the ground he has solid control and will chase submissions. He's a bt of an oaf but can be effective. He is coming off the acting performance of a lifetime where he ate an illegal kick from Paul Craig.
