UKIP only has one seat currently but they were the third highest vote receiver in the last election. The U.K. is single member districts which is what the OP's post is predicting.
UKIP lost their seat and their voter share went down to below 2%.
And their leader got third in his election.

Meanwhile, Wales:
The Tories lost three of the seats they'd won back in 2015. Further, they got fricking blasted in Cardiff. Jo Stevens won by 17,000 votes in Cardiff Central. That's amazing. The largely Corbyn-less Welsh Labour campaign worked to perfection.
For Plaid, although they're going to be disappointed that they didn't make any headway into Tory territory, they've got to be happy that they've taken Ceredigion from the Lib Dems, sent UKIP down to the Greens, and made themselves the third largest party in Wales on the national stage. Wales could actually get some more devolved powers...
