After 23 fights in the UFC, Aljamain Sterling holds an 18-5 record, giving him one of the best winning percentages in UFC history at this stage. Only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) had better records after 23 UFC fights. Sterling shares his 18-5 mark with Dustin Poirier and Matt Hughes. The analysis argues Sterling's accomplishments, including championship-level performances in two competitive weight classes and victories over elite opponents like Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo, place him among the sport's truly outstanding fighters. The post suggests Sterling is one victory away from great status and two from absolute legend status, particularly if he can defeat top featherweights like Movsar Evloev, Diego Lopes, or Ilia Topuria.
