    There's a really great amateur pool of talent in the country who I'll be excited to see make their pro debuts in the next 12 months and we have some solid pros aswell who aren't to far away from getting in the door.

    I see severe mma are doing an amatur prospect list which I'm really looking forward to, the first guy on its a beast called valdrim...he's very exciting to watch.

    I suppose I'd say James Gallagher. Don't know the chap personally. Seems cocky and talented though

    That's a shame, especially since I'm requesting such info!

    I presume it's alright for me to post as I have no affiliation to the aforementioned?

    James Gallagher, Tommy Martin, Dylan Tuke, Richie Smullen would be my somewhat, ok totally and utterly, partisan picks.

    I'm a little bit removed from the Irish scene. But I got a bit of training done at xmas when I was in dublin, and I was quite impressed with Dylan Tuke. So he'd be my sole pick for the future.
    I'm sure there are many others, I just haven't come across them yet.

    Without knowing too much about the Irish scene, I do think James Gallagher has a bright future. Bit mad on the aul Twitter machine but a very talented fighter.

    The aforementioned Dylan Tuke, fighting Aaron Maguire last night for the bantamweight ammy title at Battlezone.

    Brilliant performance against a game and accomplished opponent.

    Dylan looked great, extremely relaxed and fluid. Was really impressed by Paul Lawrence and Darren o'gorman in their pro debuts as well
