UFC welterweight Sean Brady is eager to prove he deserves a title shot following a commanding victory at UFC 328.
Last weekend, Sean Brady convincingly defeated Joaquin Buckley, reasserting his position as a top contender in the 170-pound division. Despite past setbacks against notable fighters like Belal Muhammad and Michael Morales, Brady has consistently focused on rebuilding and improving.
With another significant win under his belt, Brady is now looking towards the future. At 33 years old and with a new wave of talented welterweights emerging, he remains determined to carve out his path to the championship.
In his post-fight press conference, Brady expressed his desire for significant challenges.
Sean Brady Discusses His Future
“Everybody wants a title shot,” Brady told MMA Junkie at the UFC 328 post-fight news conference. “I’d fight Kamaru Usman because he’s a former champion. I think that would make sense. I heard he’s going up to middleweight. I’ve fought back. I beat Leon Edwards – I was the No. 1 contender. I fought Morales – I just fought back again.”
“I deserve to fight up, so we’ll see how it plays out. I would love to fight in Philly, but it’s got to make sense for me, man. I’m 33 years old. I’m getting better and better every time I go out there, and I want to be a UFC champion, and I’m just trying to inch my way toward that.”
“I would fight Prates, 100 percent,” Brady said. “I’ve asked for that fight before. Yeah, let’s do it.”
Brady’s dedication to taking on tough opponents is evident. He understands the importance of capitalizing on every opportunity, and a bout against a fighter like Prates would undoubtedly be a significant test of his abilities.
