After 23 UFC fights, Aljamain Sterling holds an 18-5 record, placing him among the most successful fighters in company history at that career milestone. Only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) had better records after 23 UFC bouts. Sterling's winning percentage surpasses legendary fighters including Robert Whittaker, Jose Aldo, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva, and others at the same career point. The post argues that Sterling's accomplishments, including victories over elite opponents like Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo, establish him as an outstanding fighter who deserves recognition alongside UFC greats. His recent victory over a strong opponent further solidifies his status despite being past his prime.
