Yet another young Brit! He will be fighting Diego Sanchez at UFC 114. I don't know much about him, but here's an article tha was onESPN.

Former rugby player Hathaway has some good skill...12-0 with 5 KO/TKOs & 3 subs. I'll be pulling for him against mestizo Sanchez!

He's good but I'm not a big fan of the british fighters. They are all pretty good strikers, but you get them on their backs and they're like a black person in the swimming pool.

LMAO! I'd not say they're THAT bad in BJJ, but don't have the wrestling prowess of many American fighters. Americans have the (big) advantage of folk wrestling being available in youth clubs from elementary school through junior high...and HS wrestling. Wrestling is huge in areas like the Midwest, Southwest, etc. The Euros don't have the same access and popularity of/for wrestling, and thus lack the grappling skills of American fighters (on average).
