Aljamaim Sterling's UFC win rate ranks among all-time greats after 23 fights

After 23 fights in the UFC, Aljamaim Sterling holds an 18-5 record, placing him among the elite in terms of winning percentage at this career stage. Only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) had better records after 23 UFC bouts. Sterling's win rate surpasses all-time greats including Robert Whittaker, Jose Aldo, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva, and Chuck Liddell at the same point in their UFC careers. The analysis argues that Sterling deserves recognition as an outstanding fighter, with elite victories over Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo, and recent success moving up to featherweight. The post suggests Sterling is one victory away from great status and two wins from legendary status, particularly if he can capture the featherweight title.
