Navajo Stirling says he plans to train seriously in Dagestan if Makhachov extends the invitation

Stirling posted a picture of herself wearing a papakha, a traditional woolen hat associated with the Caucasus, and wrote on Instagram:

“Islam Makhachovour savior, send me 2-3 years of Dagestan and forget.

Stirling has since reiterated that he is serious about going to Dagestan to train. He noted that although Makhachov has invited veterans such as Demetrius Johnsonthey have not been able to go due to family obligations. However, the 28-year-old Stirling is not bound by such obligations yet and is free to accept the offer to Makhachov. The New Zealander wants to start in a couple of weeks, not “two or three years”.

“I would love to go to Dagestan,” Stirling told Ariel Helwani. “I feel like I’m going to immerse myself in that culture. You see Islam throwing out invitations and none of the Americans taking it. DC or he threw one to Mighty Mouse. They all have kids and stuff, but man, I don’t have kids, bro. If they ever make me an offer, I don’t know if it’s two or three years or three weeks, but maybe I’ll start.”

Stirling (11-0) is undefeated in six UFC outings and riding a three-fight knockout streak. He is slated to headline
