Navajo is not that guy. I've been saying since his first UFC performance that he just isn't exactly who they said he was. Yet he is getting favorable matchups and to his credit, finding ways to win. This is definitely a giant step up in competition as Jan is a former world champion, but luckily for Navajo, Jan is 43 years old. 43. Navajo might not be the killer we thought, but he is absolutely a very good striker with clean footwork. He should be able to dance around, avoid the random power, be too fluid to be taken down and get himself a win. Navajo is the pick, but if he loses, I will still say “I told you so” because of all my previous rants that he is a future fade.
Jan Blachowicz
Jan Blachowicz is the former Light Heavyweight Champion of the world who has had a rocky couple of fights since then. He is a striker who hits incredibly hard and has solid wrestling, we don't see the wrestling often but we did see it against Prime Izzy and Alex Pereira. He is a well rounded guy with a world of experience. He is 12-8-2 in the UFC with wins over multiple world champions. He is coming off the draw to Bogdan Guskov where he won the first and the 3rd rounds, but gave up a 10-8 in the second.
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 the KO win over Ion Cutelaba where he lost the first round and was taken down 5 times.
