Jan Blachowicz was supposed to rematch Bogdan Guskov at UFC Fight Night in Belgrade. Guskov took a fight elsewhere, and unbeaten New Zealander Navajo Stirling put his hand up instead. The light heavyweight co-main event pairs a former champion with a prospect fifteen years younger. See how the numbers fall in our Jan Blachowicz vs Navajo Stirling match prediction.
The Prince of Cieszyn has not won since May 2022. His last four outings produced two draws and two decision losses, and every one of them went the full distance. At 43 he remains durable and technically sound, with the leg kicks that carried him to the belt. His gas tank has become the recurring question.
Stirling arrives on a five-fight run inside the Octagon and has never lost as a professional. He won his first three UFC bouts on the scorecards before stepping it up in 2026 with back-to-back second-round stops. The 28-year-old trains at City Kickboxing and lands 6.2 significant strikes per minute to Blachowicz's 3.4.
The betting total sits at two and a half rounds, with the over favored. That says plenty about how long The Prince of Cieszyn tends to last.

Our Jan Blachowicz vs Navajo Stirling Prediction
We are backing Stirling on the scorecards. Blachowicz has not had his hand raised since May 2022, and his last four fights all reached the judges. That durability is the point here. The Prince of Cieszyn is very hard to put away, even at 43.
Stirling has shown he is happy to win rounds when the finish does not come. The activity gap should decide it. Hence, our Jan Blachowicz vs Navajo Stirling match prediction is that Navajo Stirling wins by Decision or Technical Decision.
