Interesting question

the UFR belt holders are, to best of my knowledge

BANTAMWEIGHT 60KG STEVE 'TAZ'McCOMBE

FEATHERWEIGHT 65.8KG JAMES DOOLAN

LIGHTWEIGHT 70KG GREG LOUGHRAN

LIGHTWELTERWEIGHT 73KG OLLIE ELLIS

WELTERWEIGHT 77KG Kevin McAlonan

MIDDLEWEIGHT 84KG ROD MOORE

LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT 93KG DANNY DOHERTY

HEAVYWEIGHT +93KG GARRY CHRISTIE

Just based on people fighting over the last 12 months (since January) going on what I've seen in UFR, Semi pro and Pro, ROT etc. and what I've read from these and other organisations you'd have to have

BW -
FW - James Doolan, Mickey Young, Tim Murphy, Owen Roddy, Pearse Stokes
LW - Greg Loughran, CLive Staunton, Owen Dempsey
WW - Kevin McAlonan, Arni Iskasson
MW - Rodney Moore, Tom Haddock, John Donnelly, Mark O'Toole
LHW - Danny Doherty
HW - Garry Christie, Karl Roache, Mark Brophy

Loads of people to add to this.

The fact that not many people have bothered to reply to this question suggests what a poor topic it is.

Nobody would knows who the best 6 in each division is and then to name only 6 would put down those who dont get mentioned.

I doubt this will be a popular topic as those who would have an idea of who may be in the top 6's would also know there is 5-10 others who on any given day could and should be included.

Maybe in a few years there will be a ranking system but until then its a matter of opinion.

with cage rage coming here in 07 it would be good to now who are our best fightrs are. and theres not that many out there..5/6 lw 4mw 2/3 lh and maybe 3 heavy weights.

opinions never did anyone any harm.

Very deplomatic there Jim!

I agree.

FW - James Doolan, Mickey Young, Tim Murphy, Owen Roddy, Pearse Stokes

I'm pretty sure James is Scottish.

is he not based here? in the way arni is?

droc

No he's based in Scotland (Edinburgh I think) with the Dinky Ninjas

gymrabbit

fair enough. I'm fairly clueless about all this. Just thought I'd throw up a rough draft for the craic, might encourage more knowledgable people to throw their opinions in. obviously that isn't going to happen.

john kavanagh

also Kevin McAlonan is actually closer to BW but competes FW too.
