An extensive analysis argues that Aljamain Sterling deserves recognition as an outstanding fighter based on his 18-5 record after 23 UFC bouts. After 23 UFC fights, only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) had better winning percentages than Sterling's 18-5, matching Dustin Poirier and Matt Hughes. The analysis suggests Sterling's achievements may surpass some past legends, noting his victories over elite opponents like Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo. The piece includes a detailed breakdown of Sterling's controversial split decision win over Yan, arguing the 3-2 verdict was correct. Sterling's recent victory over a strong opponent despite looking heavy demonstrates his elite status across two competitive weight classes. The analysis concludes Sterling is one victory away from greatness and two from absolute legend status if he can defeat top featherweights like Diego Lopes or Renato Moicano.
