Navajo Stirling Reflects on UFC Debut Win: Tokkos 'Was Just Trying to Stay Alive' | UFC Tampa

[@therandomraving7490]

Man.. that was awesome to hear a Māori boy from NZ, having a chat like he's having a beer at the pub. Cant wait to see what beast you grow into bro. Kia kaha.

[@Xnovality]

Hes not Māori

[@Plucktocks]

​​@@Xnovality he's maori mate

[@6fucyoutube]

He is a new Zealander

[@pht9317]

​@Plucktocks he's like a quarter maori mostly white

[@Plucktocks]

​@pht9317 but he doesn't identify as white he identifies as maori 😂

[@Aegishjalmer]

Navajo is the man. Very well spoken. Well done!

[@XRPmaori]

4 of his 6 fights have been in the last 6 months. Crazy to think. No where near his potential and still looked good. Solid debut

[@das0ul177]

Cuz nobody wanted to fight him down these ways. At least now he can get fights

[@N-B-MMA]

He seems pretty mid but ok

[@alphaomega3633]

@@N-B-MMA Mid-dle heavyweight? or mid-day or mid-night? Which is it? You only seem like a ametuer keyboard warrior 😂By your comments, it lookis like it's your debut on the keys 😂

[@N-B-MMA]

@@alphaomega3633 he seems like a mid level light heavyweight. Maybe you can show me how to be an expert "keyboard warrior" such as yourself

[@alphaomega3633]

@@N-B-MMA you're the one calling someone mid when you can't fight yourself 😂 This mid fighter will wham your whole entire bloodline 🤣

[@twuandixon8675]

"Guys who don't speak English with the personality of a door" 😂 legit. For real though he is very well spoken and sounds like a genuine as dude. I've seen alot of his other fights this was definitely the anomaly violence wise.

[@delta2080]

Big fan of Navajo. Congrats on the dub g

[@jeremyhunter9613]

he holds himself well,a big future ahead!

[@rhys_09]

He'll be lucky if he even gets close to being ranked top 15

[@kimiorahenry179]

@@rhys_09same thing people said about Pereira after he fought Bruno Silva

[@isaacluke7344]

Mid twenties only 6 fights into his career. I would be to hard on him. 15 minutes is exactly what he needed to grow​@rhys_09

[@Eleacer-z2r]

​@@rhys_09Yeah man, excelent striker, but in the grappling department...meeh But he is just starting,time will tell

[@stevemorgan7944]

@@rhys_09yeah - ppl were saying the same about Carlos Ulberg after he got finished in his first UFC fight 🤔

[@jasontoi8628]

Watching him fight is like watching GSP fight. Just clinical.

[@billsmafia7769]

That was only his 6th fight. Hope they develop him accordingly.

[@nunstamadchannel7854]

It was awesome

[@NOTICKSBRO]

Why are Nzer Hating? Tall poppy syndrome like “Izzy” once said! Mean fight mbro! Doesn’t matter how you win! W IS A W🔥

[@teks-kj1nj]

who's hating? Seems like good dude, adding to my watch list of NZ fighters ;) Izzy only got hate coz much as we like his fighting, he can be bit of a dick.

[@NOTICKSBRO]

@ scroll down a lot of kiwis hating on our own! Bet they haven’t fought a day in their lives

[@NOTICKSBRO]

@ yeah true bro and yes Izzy is cringe sometimes lmao but I’m a Izzy fan! Lol

[@twuandixon8675]

@@NOTICKSBRO Jesus Christ man can you people ever stop saying tall poppy 🤣 I agree there's semi unnecessary criticism but it's fine mate let go of the victim crap. He's a beast and will show everyone soon, Chur 🤟

[@live_well79]

Nice work bro

[@KidRaiden]

NICE he was in there to survive

[@samgreer8274]

If Tokkos 'Was Just Trying to Stay Alive', than he suceeded. You can actually use these runners to make you look cool, confident and scary. Putting together combinations, good defensive and counter displays as well as aggression are the usual appealing and entertaining things you wanna see from a fighter. Can be a little risky but if your the favorite to win by KO and your having to chase him, might as well look like the dragon.

[@chrishirini5414]

Killer kiwi right there much more to come from this young fulla

[@honahwikeepa2115]

Tu meke e hoa 💪🏾🙏🏾🇳🇿

[@-Denisa-]

Give him Petrino

[@noobyboymax]

That would be a sick fight

[@yrgkeanu]

the man, can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for him.

[@spikeboy101]

People were upset and disappointed bc a -1300 fav shouldn't perform this bad. If he was -250 and no hype, nobody would've minded

[@crangel4246]

His -1300 line was because of his viral knockout in his last fight … Carlos leal was an underdog in his debut and arguably won but lost by decision both are beasts … u don’t become a -1300 fav bc ppl don’t know about u

[@pithius2191]

Great job Navajo...Hopefully develops that killer instinct when he smells blood. A little hesitant tonite...

[@Abc1231x1]

If he was trying to survive why didn’t you finish him? Make no sense

[@arsenilazarevich8779]

Adesanya has recently started a new save and changed his skin colour

[@CaseyKCRichards]

City boxers have no clue how to grapple or wresting.. not going to dig it in ufc…. Sterling fought Ike Izzy …. Has little or no ground game.. all the did was defend.

[@spayze9982]

Check Kai Kara France’s takedown defence percentage

[@944CoyoteV8]

And Kai's faught Askarov, Bontorin, Royval - all dudes who want to take him down.

[@das0ul177]

Looked more like Dan hooker than Izzy bro

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

Oh I wonder how Izzy has the next best middleweight record next to Anderson Silva especially being that he fights actual great grapplers unlike alex😂

[@CaseyKCRichards]

@ Izzy wil lose his next fight to a stand up with great wrestling / grappling.. it’s his retirement fight.

[@UFC.Therapy]

He looks South African tbh. I was sleeping and missed this fight FFS and woke up to cub swanson

[@GabrielWitmer]

Yeah dude my moms South African and there’s a lot of structural and accent similarities between South Africans and New Zealanders

[@TumekeTekeOuahhh]

Chuck some extra cardiuk in the trainings eah uncle Eugene

Shut up bei, he'll kick your head off.

[@tauarikikaa9629]

early days don't get to ahead of yourself maori, didn't really impress or make any statement and was just average fight tbh
