After 23 UFC fights, Aljamain Sterling holds an 18-5 record, a win percentage bettered by only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) at the same career stage. Sterling's record equals Dustin Poirier and Matt Hughes, and surpasses legends like Robert Whittaker, Jose Aldo, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva, and others at comparable points in their UFC careers. The analysis argues that Sterling's victories over elite opponents like Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo demonstrate his standing as an outstanding fighter. At bantamweight, Sterling holds the record for most wins in the division and captured the championship. His recent move to featherweight has seen him defeat three ranked opponents, with only a loss to top contender Movsar Evloev. The post suggests Sterling is one victory away from "great" status and two from "absolute legend" status if he can secure wins over top featherweights like Diego Lopes or Lerone Murphy and potentially challenge for the 145-pound title.
