Europe birthed the Americas, they might compete one day, but not today!
 
If you're specifically talking about right now (which seems like you are, looking at your post) then I would agree.

However, keep in mind that in MMA different regions of the world tend to rise up and dominate simultaneously and similarly fall as other regions start to replicate or study what makes the current region the best in the sport.

At some point, Dagestan's MMA reign will also fall, just seems to be the order of the sport.
