Back in September, Sean Brady showed the world why he’s considered to be one of the top welterweights in the world.
In the main event of UFC Fight Night 242 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Brady (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) took on former title challenger Gilbert Burns. The fight was virtually one-way traffic, as Brady only lost one round on one of the official scorecards, winning a clear unanimous decision (50-45, 49-46, 50-45).
The win marked back-to-back for Brady after suffering his first professional loss to now-champion Belal Muhammad at UFC 280. It’s a fight he wants to get back, and aims to get one step closer to a rematch by taking on Leon Edwards at UFC Fight Night 255 on March 22.
If promotionally-ranked No. 5 Brady can get past the former champ in the main event at The O2 in London, he’ll not only have a win over the current No. 1-ranked fighter, but a compelling argument to get the next title shot.
Check out the full replay of Brady’s performance against Burns in the video above ahead of UFC Fight Night 255.
