A detailed analysis makes the case that Aljamain Sterling should be recognized as an outstanding fighter, noting that after 23 UFC bouts, only Jon Jones and Donald Cerrone had better win percentages than Sterling's 18-5 record. The post argues Sterling's victories over elite opponents like Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo are historically significant, and that Yan ranks among the top-10 most talented fighters ever. The analysis revisits Sterling's split decision victory over Yan, defending the judges' 3-2 scoring. With titles in two competitive weight classes and a strong winning percentage over 12 years, the post suggests Sterling is one victory away from greatness and two from legendary status. Potential next opponents mentioned include Movsar Evloev, Diego Lopes, or Ilia Topuria.
