Outside of UFC and Bellator of course. When a fighter from the UK blows up you know it, and recently more and more really good ones are coming out of there. WHo are the top ones right now? outside of Scott Askham (who I'm pretty high on, this kids a monster!!) I don't really know who's a legit prospect out there. Help?
Who are the Top UK fighters right now?

Outside of UFC and Bellator it has to be Paul Daley. He is with K-1 now.
If you include Ireland, next should be Cathal Pendred. He is on TUF, but not yet signed by UFC.
Ian Freeman declared retirement recently, but he was on 3 fight win streak (last Win over Ricco Rodriguez in 2013)
Here is a complete list of Top 30 UK/Ireland fighters:

Those rankings are horrendous. If you are asking about prospects then the following are probably the best around at the moment:
Michael Page (6-0)
Scott Askham (11-0)
Danny Roberts (11-1)
Chris Fishgold (10-0)
Walter Gahadza (14-0)
Ryan Scope (8-0)
Leon Edwards (7-1)
Chi Lewis Parry (5-0)
Gahadza will fight Scope in August so the winner of that will gain a lot of interest i'm sure.
I think Danny Roberts and Chris Fishgold are future top tier UFC fighters because they have shown competence in all areas, the rest still have a lot of unanswered questions.

Gahadza is #34 on our list.
Yes he is undefeated, but he didn't fight anybody with the higher rating.
We have him as 13-0. I just checked and admit that we are missing one of his fights (Piotrkowski).
When we add that fight, he might get a few more points and maybe go into top 30 UK.
Here is the UK list from #31 to #50:

Someone I think is solid and never gets mentioned is Iain Martell. Big muscular light heavyweight, 10-1 record with 9 stoppages, trains at Team Kaebon.

There's a young prospect called Ben Holdsworth, ammy only thus far, been following him for a while. His fight with another prospect called Bom Pierre showed me he's got heart for fucking days and a chin to match it. He's also slick as shit on the ground. He will be a big prospect. I am telling you.
I've heard he's done some boxing recently though. I'm hoping its not a full time thing.

Including Ireland is the same as including Canadians on the list of best fighters from the US.
