Aljamain Sterling praised for elite win percentage after 23 UFC fights

A detailed analysis highlights Aljamain Sterling's exceptional record after 23 UFC fights, with an 18-5 record that places him among the elite in UFC history. After 23 UFC bouts, only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) had better win percentages than Sterling's 18-5 mark, matching Dustin Poirier and Matt Hughes. The post argues Sterling deserves recognition as an outstanding fighter, comparing his achievements favorably to legends and noting his championship-level performances across two competitive weight classes over 12 years. Sterling's recent victory over a strong opponent despite looking heavy was cited as further evidence of his elite status. The analysis suggests Sterling is one victory away from great status and two from legendary status if he can defeat top contenders like Silva or Lopez.
