After 23 UFC fights, Aljamain Sterling holds an 18-5 record, giving him the third-best win percentage in company history at that mark, behind only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4). His win rate after 23 fights surpasses UFC legends including Robert Whittaker, Sean Strickland, Jose Aldo, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva, Demian Maia, Chuck Liddell, and Junior Dos Santos. The analysis reviews Sterling's split decision victory over Petr Yan, scoring it 3-2 for Sterling with detailed round-by-round breakdown. At featherweight, Sterling has now defeated three strong opponents and lost only to top contender Movsar Evloev.
