Wins as overwhelming favorite
Stirling defeated Tuco Tokkos via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Tampa, Florida.
ANALYSIS
Stirling won this bout easily, but one expects a more dominant showing when a fighter enters as a -1200 favorite. He got the better of Tokkos on the feet and defended quite well despite the fact Stirling allowed three takedowns. The fact Navajo was being backed so heavily in just his sixth professional bout and first official UFC fight is ridiculous, but it speaks to Stirling's long-term potential. The power is legitimate, and Stirling is getting elite training every single day with the crew at City Kickboxing, but expectations should be kept in check for the foreseeable future.
