After 23 fights in the UFC, Aljamain Sterling holds an 18-5 record, placing him among the elite in terms of win percentage at that stage. Only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) had better records after 23 UFC bouts. Sterling's win rate surpasses legends like Robert Whittaker, Jose Aldo, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva, and Chuck Liddell at the same career point. The analysis argues Sterling's victories over elite opponents like Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo, plus success across two competitive weight classes, establish him as an outstanding fighter. His recent win over a strong opponent further cements his legacy, with potential matchups against Movsar Evloev, Diego Lopes, or Ilia Topuria discussed as paths to greatness.
