5 fighters from DWCS with the most UFC wins

#3. (tied) Dan Ige - 7 UFC wins

Dan Ige appeared on season 1 of DWCS

The fact that Dan Ige is currently the No.11-ranked fighter in the UFC featherweight division says all that fans need to know about his transition to life on the UFC roster. The Hawaiian-born fighter earned his contract back in 2017, and despite losing his first official fight for the promotion, he has now put together a strong 7-5 UFC record.

After that initial loss, Ige bounced back with six straight wins, including one over Edson Barboza. However, he has since struggled for form, having won only one of his last five. Admittedly, these losses have come against elite competition like Calvin Kattar, Chan Sung Jung, Josh Emmett, and Movsar Evloev.

Ige's next fight will be a very important one, as his spot in the rankings (and potentially his spot on the roster) could be on the line. While this might be a challenging time in his career, he is only 30, so should he turn things around, he could still have a very bright future.

#3. (tied) Sean O'Malley - 7 UFC wins

Sean O'Malley appeared on season 1 of DWCS

Sean O'Malley is by far the biggest star to have ever passed through Dana White's Contender Series. His appearance on the show was brief and brutal, as he scored a first-round knockout to immediately earn his contract. Since then, O'Malley hasn't slowed down, going 7-1 (1 NC) inside the octagon.

O'Malley has finished five opponents during his time in the UFC and earned himself the No.13-spot in the bantamweight rankings. That ranking has the potential to skyrocket should he win his next fight against former champion Petr Yan. While it will be his toughest test to date, a win could very well put him in-line for a title shot.

Even if O'Malley were to lose, the future remains bright given he is just 27-years-old. The fact that he is being given such a big opportunity so early on in his career indicates how much faith the promotion has in him. Only time will tell how much he can achieve.
