Kiwi light heavyweight Navajo Stirling continues unblemished MMA record
Kiwi UFC fighter Navajo Stirling left it late, but he delivered as promised. The light heavyweight took his unblemished MMA record to 7-0 on Sunday with an emphatic unanimous decision win over Croatian veteran Ivan Erslan. A highly competitive 13 minutes made way for a dominant ending to the bout, as Stirling left his opponent scrambling to survive to the bell. A perfect picture cross landed flush on Erslan's chin and sent him rocking backward into the cage. Stirling happily accepted the invitation and unleashed several unanswered shots in a brutal barrage before he clipped the Croation on the back of the head and he crumbled to the canvas. Stirling rained down even more punishment as Erslan was saved by the bell. The Kiwi found mixed success across the opening two rounds, largely relying on kicks as he ate several stiff jabs from Erslan. Spending plenty of time clinched against the cage, Stirling also demonstrated his grappling IQ as he reversed several precarious positions. Encouraged by his corner to close the distance and let his hands go, Stirling bided his time before unleashing the vicious game changing shot. "I talked it up aye so I gotta show up, I turned it back on after things not going my way," he said in his post-fight interview. Stirling admitted to believing he had done enough to end it after landing. "I thought he was already gone. Do I sprawl or keep hitting him?"

Europe needs 'special envoy' to take part in Ukraine peace talks, says Finnish President
The European Union needs a special envoy to Ukraine peace talks to avoid being cut out of negotiations, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said on Feb. 16 at the Munich Security Conference. Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, said the day previously that Europe would not be directly involved in peace talks. A new European special envoy, Stubb said, would help focus European efforts and give them a voice in such talks. "If there is a negotiating table, I think we need to do something similar to what was done in Kosovo. Europe needs to have a special envoy," Stubb said. "And then, a deputy envoy, who is on the level of Kellogg, (Steve) Witkoff, (Andriy) Yermak, or (Yuriy) Ushakov." Earlier, Politico reported that U.S. officials were heading to Saudi Arabia to meet with Russian representatives for talks meant to lay the ground work for a potential summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kyiv was not invited and was even surprised by the announced meeting in Saudi Arabia, causing alarm that negotiations to end Russia's nearly three year invasion will happen without Ukraine's involvement. Croation Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic voiced a similar sentiment as Stubb, saying that Europe needs a strong representative in negotiations, Reuters reported. "What we lacked on Ukraine in recent years was one personality highly respected by everyone, taken into account in Moscow, taken into account in Kyiv, and having support in Washington and European capitals and other leaders, including the global South, that could have the authority to manage the peace talks," said Plenkovic.
