Is another star emerging out of City Kickboxing?

Navajo Stirling took one step closer Tuesday at Dana White’s Contender Series 71 when he slept opponent Phillip Latu with a big left hand in the event’s headlining bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The stoppage came at 2:21 of Round 2.

Stirling (5-0) was offered a UFC contract from Dana White minutes later.

Stirling, 26, under coach Eugene Bareman alongside Israel Adesanya and other UFC stars. Tuesday’s finish was his fourth in five professional fights.

Latu (6-2) has a four-fight winning streak snapped. He’s yet to see a decision in his professional career.
