- Stirling overcame significant adversity during the bout, surviving five takedowns and multiple submission attempts including a standing guillotine choke by the veteran gatekeeper.

- Stirling declared himself the "real deal" in his post-fight interview, stating, "I'm not afraid to get taken down because I'm going to get back up."
