Sean O'Malley wants to earn his 11th victory in the Octagon when he returns on 7 June.
In the main event of UFC 316, O'Malley will avenge his loss against Merab Dvalishvili to reclaim the Bantamweight title.
In 2023, 'Suga' only became one of three men who became a UFC champion after earning their place on the Roster through the Contender Series of Dana White.
O'Malley was tipped for big things since his star performance on season one in 2017 with his knockout from Aljamain Sterling on UFC 292 and saw him realize that potentially.
Despite his incredible success in the Octagon, there are four names that have achieved more victories in the UFC since he participated in the most intense job interview in the world.

The will of Kevin Holland have won more UFC fights than Sean O'Malley after the performances of Dana White's Contender Series
Sean O'Malley is part of a very small number of hunters who have been able to reach 10 UFC victories after coming through the Dana White competition series.
Although the other names that have achieved this performance are unable to match CV, with victories over people like Aljamain Sterling, Marlon Vera and Petr Yan, there are four hunters who have taken more victories.
The top of the list is Kevin Holland, who will also appear on UFC 316 this weekend when he takes on Vicente Luque.
After having bound the UFC record for most victories in a calendar year when he produced five victories in 2020, it is no surprise to see the constantly active 'trail blower' here after he played on DWCs in 2018.

Middleweight Competier Brendan Allen takes second place at 12 wins after he submitted Aaron Jeffery in 2019 to earn his UFC contract.
'Everything in' will want to add to this number when he is opposed to Marvin Vettori next month in a resorting competition at UFC 318.
Joint Third Place goes to both Grant Dawson and Dan Ige who both have 11 wins in the Octagon.
Dawson booked his place on the Roster with a submission victory in 2017, while IgE's victory in the show did not give him a contract, although he received a late debut the following year.

Various other current UFC stars could hit the 10-win club in the near future
In addition to producing three UFC champions, the Contender Series of Dana White contains a list of hunters that have appeared in their respective divisions to become contenders.
Here are several big names that most likely seem to achieve 10 UFC victories after they have appeared on DWCs in the past.
