USA, Brazil and more recently Russia, have been dominating The UFC. Does yesterday's show put British MMA up there with the top 3 nations, or are the Brits still not at that elite level yet?

Russia (Makhachev, Yan, Chimaev, Askarov, Anakalaev, Rakhmonov)
USA (Usman, Gathje, Porrier, Covington, Holloway, Miocic)
Brazil (Figueiredo, Oliveira, Aldo, Teixeira, Burns, Barboza)
Britain (Aspinall, Edwards, Allen, Paddy, Shore, Mokaev, Till)
 
1. Rakhmonov is a Kazakh, who grew up in Uzbekistan (so not Russian at all)
2. Chimaev only represents Chechnya, in regards to recognized states he always chose Sweden

And I mean, since Mokaev is British in your post these two should be replaced for Russia.
 
I was instinctively gonna say no way, but taking into account quantity measured against overall quality....maybe, actually.

Tbh there is a pretty big drop off after US/Russia/Brazil anyway when it comes to sheer quantity of good/great fighters. You get plenty of elites from other countries but generally its not more than a handful from any one place in particular.
 
There's no Brit champions at the mo? That I'm aware of. So no

loool

It's hilarious how much the british always overrate themselves. This reminds me when they were talking about the Big Four in tennis: Federer, Nadal, Djokovic....and fucking Murray <45><45><45><45>

Dude, you know that between the three main armies in the world and the rest there's a big fucking drop right?
