Undefeated light heavyweight Navajo Stirling successfully weighed in at 205 lbs for UFC Vegas 119, set to take place Saturday, June 20, live on Paramount+.
Navajo Stirling made weight without issue on Friday, stepping on the scale at exactly 205 pounds ahead of his light heavyweight bout at UFC Vegas 119, scheduled for Saturday, June 20, live on Paramount+.
Stirling enters the contest with a perfect 10-0-0 professional record, keeping his unbeaten slate intact as he continues to build his case inside the UFC's 205-pound division. The 28-year-old New Zealander trains out of City Kickboxing in Auckland, one of the sport's most decorated camps, and carries himself as a genuine prospect at light heavyweight. Standing six-foot-four with a 79-inch reach, he presents a significant physical challenge for any opponent in the division. His striking numbers are particularly notable — he lands 6.24 significant strikes per minute at a 54 percent accuracy rate, figures that place him among the more efficient and active strikers in the weight class. He also averages 0.86 takedowns per 15 minutes, suggesting a well-rounded approach that does not rely on the ground game alone.
Why it matters
- Stirling's perfect record means a strong performance Saturday could push him firmly into the ranked light heavyweight picture.
- His striking output of over six significant strikes per minute is an elite pace that will test any opponent's durability and defensive discipline.
- Fighting out of City Kickboxing gives him elite training infrastructure, which has repeatedly produced world-level talent across multiple divisions.
- At just 28 years old, Stirling is approaching what many consider a fighter's prime years, making his trajectory worth watching closely.
