A detailed statistical analysis argues that Aljamain Sterling deserves recognition as an outstanding fighter, with an 18-5 record after 23 UFC fights. Only Jon Jones (22-1) and Donald Cerrone (19-4) had better winning percentages at the same career stage. Sterling's record surpasses legends like Robert Whittaker, Anderson Silva, and Chuck Liddell at equivalent points in their UFC careers. The analysis includes a deep dive into Sterling's split decision victory over Petr Yan, concluding the judges scored it correctly at 3-2 for Sterling. The post suggests Sterling is one victory away from great status and two from absolute legend status if he can defeat top featherweights like Movsar Evloev. His recent victory over Zalal, despite appearing heavy, demonstrated championship-level adjustments and technical mastery.
