Hungary
The only active prospect from Hungary that has my attention is Akos Denes (2-0). With that said, Denes is a good talent. Denes went 2-2 as an amateur but his two losses came at the start of his career. Since he’s been pro he’s looked so good. Denes is a striker and a very tricky one. He’s actively switching stances and attacking with both his right and left side. Denes throws a variety of kicks while always using different patterns and feints. He’s tough to read because you never know what he’s going to throw. Still a lot to prove but very exciting nonetheless.
India
It’s well known that India has struggled when it comes to dishing out good prospects. I’m not saying Clinton Kenin D’Cruz (6-0) is a top prospect but he has a lot of promise. D’Cruz is at his best when he’s on the mat. He has a good single leg and does a nice job at timing his takedown entries. Outside of being over-aggressive at times going for submissions he’s very skilled. D’Cruz is a big submission threat no matter his position I’ve seen him hit a beautiful sweep off his back so he knows what he’s doing. On the feet, he does a lot of the basics well. He throws a good jab and a nice one-two. The striking is pretty clean but the defense needs work. D’Cruz is dangerous offensively and with more work his striking would be a great compliment to his ground game.
Ireland
The UFC would love to have another superstar from Ireland after the infamous Conor McGregor. They do have a star in Ian Garry but one outside the UFC is Paul Hughes (10-1). Hughes just isn’t the best prospect in Ireland he’s one of the best prospects in the world. Currently, he’s the Cage Warriors interim featherweight champ. On the feet, Hughes has good boxing. The accuracy and shot selection are there and so is some big power. He’s an even better wrestler and has exceptional grappling. Hughes is the real deal and he should be in the UFC soon.
