Navajo Stirling

Picked against despite being undefeated, with the analyst framing this as a first real test he expects the veteran to pass by exposing one specific flaw.

A 10-0 prospect stepping into a rematch of circumstance after the original opponent swap. Good body work, kick variety, accuracy, and feints, mixing combinations with single strikes and controlling range well -- the analyst would grade the striking a tier higher if not for one clear flaw: straight counters land on him too often, even against opponents below his level. Good clinch work and a clean break, decent takedown defense, and a decent cage push round out the profile.

Picked as a root-beer fight -- the analyst says this one isn't worth betting despite favoring him.

Undefeated, and rated as the sharper striker of the two in this matchup overall. Works the body well, good kick arsenal, accurate, faints well, and mixes combinations with single strikes while controlling range fairly well. Good clinch with well-used knees, and lands clean before exiting on clinch breaks. Decent takedown defense, backed by a decent cage push.

Picked with an explicit razor-thin framing -- the analyst calls this genuinely close despite naming a side.

Effective body work, good accuracy, and a diverse kicking arsenal, backed by faints that set up his offense well; he varies between combinations and single strikes and manages range effectively. A genuine weak point is his vulnerability to a straight shot thrown right down the pipe, particularly while he's mid-combination. He also brings a solid clinch game and good knees, moving cleanly between distance and close range, and he tends to disengage cleanly rather than eating something on the way out. His takedown defense and cage pressure are both serviceable.
