The most under rated Irish fighter

John Ferguson

We hear lots about "X is the best prospect", "Y is the best fighter Ireland has ever produced", "Z has fought the best opponents" etc etc but who is the most under rated MMA fighter to come from these green and pleasent shores? (Current or Back in the Day )

Current: Paul Redmond. Had beaten everyone people are excited about: Lobov, etc and i hear he got on well over at ATT too.

past: Clive Staunton or Emmet McNally. Emmet was a knock out king and Clive had all the skills. Both were a bit before their time I think.

Yeah Redmond impressed the $hit outta me winning our belt

I think our eyes should be firmly placed on the teens. They will be our best chance if nurtured properly


As Cowzer has said previously. I've seen better skills from some of them than even some of the lads who fight pro rules

Colin McKee was ripping it up at one point

Also Aidan Marron was quite the fighter at one stage of his career too

Surely naming the most overrated fighters would be more fun!

Colin was on a tear, I think he won 7 in a row fighting all over the place but I think he has retired from competition.

Did Hugh Harris not beat Paul Redmond on Clan Wars 5? Hugh looked good in that fight but I haven't seen too much of him since. Redmond did look good against Mulpeter but I think his fight against Pat McAllister will be tough.

Philpott has made big improvements recently but he has a few very tough fights coming up which will give a better indication of the level he is at.
