Mixed martial arts career[]
Early career[]
Stiebling compiled a professional record of 5-0-1 competing in the Midwestern regional circuit before facing Mark Hughes at UFC 28 on November 17, 2000. He lost via unanimous decision, but would bounce back later winning the IVC tournament in November of the next year.
PRIDE Fighting Championships[]
Stiebling made his PRIDE debut at PRIDE 18 against Allan Goes on December 23, 2001. He won via third-round TKO.
He next faced another Brazilian fighter in Wallid Ismail at PRIDE 19 on February 24, 2002. He won via unanimous decision. After capturing Brazil's IVC Championship and with two straight wins over notable Brazilian fighters, Stiebling received his nickname "The Brazilian Killa."
With an impressive record of 12-1-1, Stiebling fought future UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva at PRIDE 21 on June 23, 2002. He lost via TKO due to a doctor stoppage at 1:23 into the first round.
Stiebling brought his losing streak to three going into his final PRIDE appearance at PRIDE 25 against Akira Shoji on March 16, 2003. He lost via controversial split decision.
World Extreme Cagefighting[]
Stiebling made his WEC debut at WEC 9 on January 16, 2004 against Joe Riggs. After perhaps losing the first round due to Riggs' superior striking and ground and pound technique, Stiebling was able to get a submission victory with a triangle choke in the second round.
Stiebling picked up another second-round submission victory over Tim McKenzie at WEC 10, bringing his winning streak to five before losing to Antônio Rogério Nogueira via unanimous decision.
Stiebling then lost his next two WEC bouts to Chael Sonnen and Vernon White, respectively. He then fought Jason Guida at WEC 22, and won via unanimous decision.
He then returned to the WEC to face Fernando Gonzalez at WEC 23. He lost via TKO due to a doctor stoppage in the first round.
