There is going to be a fight where Navajo looks clueless and we just need to figure out when that it is. He keeps getting wins and we keep telling ourselves that he is a future fade, but then we also continue to pick and bet on him. I just don't know if this is the fade spot. It certainly feels like it. Cutelaba has lightyears more experience, is the much better grappler and while his striking isn't technical, there is power. I am probably going to end up picking Navajo here because his footwork is good, his range management is good and he works when he is taken down, but i am shocked to see that 84% of people think he wins here because Ion aint no bitch.

Ion Cutelaba

Ion Cutelaba is a grappler who happens to have very good power in his hands and is happy to fight in a phone booth. He is a feast or famine fighter so he will chase a stoppage and will potentially get stopped doing it. He is good on the ground and racks up tons of takedowns but they can be sloppy body locks that are more muscle than technique. His chin isn't great but he has no problem throwing baseballs. He is coming off the frud check submission win over French softie Oumar Sy

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 if he is on the outside he wil keep you at range and stay mobile enough to avoid the takedowns. He is coming off his first KO win in the UFC.
