Navajo Stirling extended his unbeaten record with a first-round TKO victory at UFC Belgrade, continuing his rise up the light heavyweight rankings. The finish cements Stirling's status as one of the division's emerging prospects.

Israel Adesanya has departed City Kickboxing in Auckland, New Zealand, his longtime training home, following four consecutive losses including a knockout defeat to Joe Pyfer at UFC Seattle. Adesanya announced the move on his YouTube channel, citing the need for a change in environment. Teammate Navajo Stirling, preparing for his UFC Belgrade clash with Jan Blachowicz, said the gym wishes Adesanya well and remains in strong health with fighters such as light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg still on the roster.
