An extensive analysis post argues that Aljamain Sterling's accomplishments warrant recognition as an outstanding fighter, noting that after 23 UFC bouts only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) had better win percentages than Sterling's 18-5 record. The author defends Sterling's controversial split decision win over Petr Yan in their rematch, agreeing with the 3-2 scorecards. The post emphasizes Sterling's recent featherweight performances, including wins over ranked opponents despite being past his prime, and suggests he is one victory away from great status and two from becoming an absolute legend. The analysis includes detailed round-by-round breakdowns and comparisons to historical fighters.
