Sean Brady does no prisoner after his Gigantic submission of the fourth round of the former Welter weight champion of the UFC Leon Edwards At UFC London last Saturday.
The short -term match seemed to be quite respectful until the fight week when Brady met Edwards in face to face. Speaking on Monday “The Ariel Helwani Show” by Non-Couronne ,, “ The first competitor of the newly struck UFC's Welter weights recalled how him and Edwards had a glance at the London O2 Arena, which led to unexpected jokes.
“It literally took five seconds, but when we did it, we approached each other – and obviously, my brother, I am not 6 feet (big). I am 5 feet 9 inches,” said Brady. “I have never been tall. But he approached me and he asked me about my size. He was head ad ***. I said to myself:” Ah, I am 5 feet 9 inches. What are you, 6 feet 2 inches? You have these big shoes. “By making a joke.
“From that moment, I do not touch the hand of this guy. If he tries something stupid – because I saw him try Stupid S *** to weighing – I will return it right away to this mother.
“I am respectful,” continued Brady. “(Georges St-Pierre is) my favorite fighter, always respected. But when you are a hole ** like that, I can give it back.
Come fight at night, Brady has remained locked up and has not yet touched the gloves with Edwards before the start of the action. After a relatively competitive first round, Brady shone – the Philadelphian relied on his strong wrestling game to dominate the former champ en route to a possible fourth round guillotine which made Brady the first person to finish “Rocky” in 28 professional fights.
Brady said he generally avoids social media during the weeks of combat to ignore all unnecessary distractions, but some of Edwards' promotional images have slipped through the meshes of the net in London. After seeing Edwards joke more about not being able to see the shortest brady in the weighing crowd, Brady has become a man on a mission, make fun of your opponent both on Instagram And In his press conference after the fighting After the victory.
Despite Edwards' difficult loss, Brady said that nothing has changed with regard to the behavior of the former champion and the antics immediately after the fight.
“It has worsened things again,” he said about the reaction after Edwards' fights. “I say to myself:” Yo guy, you're a big champion. He swept me away a little. Before doing it, I tried to touch him behind (referee) Jason Herzog, and he is just salty. A hole **.
“I saw him put the pistol (gesture) on the heads of people with Pesins. If he puts this stupid water pistol at my head at Pesins, I will slap the F *** Ing S *** out of his hand. I was ready for all this.
“This is why when we did the game game, I went up right away and my nose was like on his lip,” added Brady. “So he didn't look at me. I say to myself:” You don't look at me. You're going to look at me tomorrow. “So, hey, he cries somewhere in London right now, and I'm back, a happy man in Philly.
Muhammad, the current UFC Welter weight champion, remains the only defect in the 18-1 professional record in Brady. But Brady is expecting the classification No. 1 to be the classification by his name to the official update of the UFC classification of Tuesday – or at worst n ° 2.. The only team of Brady's potential opportunity could be another high -level competitor, the Invainu Shavkat Rakhmonov, which was originally reserved in a Muhammad fight last December.
No matter where his new ranking is, Brady thinks he is most worthy of an inclination of the title against the Muhammad winner against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315 in May.
“If you look at the last guys I beat against the last guys who beat the guys, I think my curriculum vitae (is more impressive),” Brady explained “, defeating Gilbert (Burns) then Leon Edwards, against (Rakhmonov Beat)` `Wonderboy '' (Stephen Thompson) and then he beat Ian (Machado) (in) Very not the fights.
“I would be interested in the loser of the fight for the title, the winner of the fight for the title, or Shavkat.”
Unfortunately for Rakhmonov, Muhammad withdrew from their confrontation for the title at the end of 2024 with an injury. Rakhmonov rather fought against Garry at the UFC 310, winning a harshly disputed decision. However, the victory did not come free – the injuries on the side of Rakhmonov have since relegated it to the touch and forced it to give up the next crack in Muhammad to Della Maddalena on May 10.
If Brady was to wait behind Rakhmonov, he is ready to take another residence fight, if that makes sense – but that does not mean a step back in the ranking to face Garry from Ireland.
“Yeah, no,” said Brady. “I went there (and I) took this. I heard that (Garry) was not having had the fight with Belal. You have lost your fight – what are you talking about? You came in second place. You cannot reward yourself.
“(Garry Est) No. 7 at this stadium and I lost his last fight. I won my last three, I just beat a former champion, who was a very good champion. So yes, I had bigger things than Ian Machado Garry.”
