    Top and most exciting fighter in Europe at the moment is Conor Mcgregor I don't think anybody can disagree with this. Always puts on a show and gets better and better every time we see him. Will be if not already the best MMA fighter to come out of Ireland.
    After Conor I think Cathal Pendred , his fights are always exciting he's an animal, then paddy hoolahan a litle beast and Phil multipler only seen a couple of his fights but what a ****ing warrior.

    Paul Redmond, Conor mc, holohan, Philpott, fields, seery, Parke.

    I think you would need to throw Norman Parke in there as well in the Top 2-3 .

    Number one for me would be Conor also, his aggressiveness reminds me of a younger Wanderlei, but he backs it up with crisp stand up and a controlling ground game.

    I need to go watch some of Cathals fights, have heard great things and seen his has fought some big names and is winning some big grappling comps too.

    Paddy H is very exciting , slick ground game and a warriors heart.

    Chris Fields , another champion with great kickboxing and all around game.

    Its amazing to see how far these lads have come. Just shows what you can achieve when you really apply yourself and know what you want. It seems like its not long ago we were brand new white belts rolling in the beginners class in SBG.

    What happened to Tom Egan?

    Was he once the best we had, or was his shot in the UFC simply being in the right place at the right time?

    If you're looking for video footage, arguably the best performance by an Irish MMA fighter ever.

    If you're looking for names not sure if they've already been mentioned but Myles Price and Paul Redmond are probably two of the most under rated fighters in the country.

    Tom Egan moved to Boston. His next bout is in New Hampshire on March 30.
