The second of three fighters from City Kickboxing fighting on this card is Navajo Stirling. Stirling, 27, is 7-0 in his MMA career while being 2-0 in the UFC. He is facing his most experienced and toughest opponent in Rodolfo Bellato, who has a 12-2-1 record.
Check out my best bet for this fight between Navajo Stirling vs. Rodolfo Bellato on tonight’s UFC Fight Night.
Navajo Stirling To Win By KO/TKO/DQ (+110)
Like his teammates, Carlos Ulberg and Stirling are also tremendous strikers. Stirling has trained and learned from Ulberg and former UFC Champion Israel Adesanya. Having the ability to be around two elite fighters, along with Eugene Baremen, makes for an excellent game plan.
Stirling stands at 6’4″, one inch taller than Bellato, while possessing a 79″ standing reach, four inches larger than his opponent. Although Stirling is undefeated and won his first two fights in the UFC, he has yet to record a finish in the Octagon. He hasn’t won three straight fights by decision in his career, and I don’t see that trend continuing in this contest.
With Stirling being a -258 favorite, the better play is to get him to win by KO/TKO/DQ at +110 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Even though his last two wins were by decision, his previous four victories came via KO/TKO.
