Sean Brady will welcome Kelvin Gastelum back to the welterweight division at the UFC Fight Night in Austin, Texas. Brady is looking to get back to his winning ways after his loss against Belal Muhammad at UFC 280 last year. The Philadelphia native was on a 5-fight win streak in the UFC before suffering the heartbreaking loss at the hands of Muhammad in Abu Dhabi.

Brady holds notable wins over Michael Chiesa and Jake Mathews and is known for his well-rounded fighting style. Ahead of his bout against Gastelum, let’s take a look at his personal life and all we know about his relationship with his partner, Kristen Brady!

Sean Brady is married and his wife is a nurse

Sean Brady married his long-time girlfriend, Kristen in May 2023. Reports online indicate that the couple had been together for a long time before deciding to tie the knot.

His wife makes occasional appearances on the fighter’s Instagram. She is also a nurse, as Brady revealed in an Instagram post when he pulled out of his UFC 290 bout against Jack Della Maddalena. He had shared an update with his fans that stated he was undergoing medical issues with his elbow.

Brady revealed in the statement, “My wife, being a nurse, took a look at my arm on Tuesday morning and told me it would be the best idea to go to the hospital (for what we thought would be 1 dose of IV antibiotics)…”

Initially, he noticed a small blister on his elbow, which escalated into swelling and pain. Despite efforts to treat it with antibiotics, the infection worsened. The orthopedic surgeon had to drain Brady’s elbow twice and determined it was a septic bursitis which led to him pulling out of the matchup. However, his wife’s presence and experience allowed him to get treated before he could suffer from further complications. 

Brady is now ready to show off the best version of himself against Kelvin Gastelum and he’s also got a call-out ready if he secures a win this weekend in Austin!

Brady is interested in taking on a former training partner

With Brady coming off his first career loss, a TKO defeat to Belal Muhammad, and Gastelum returning to welterweight after years at middleweight, the stakes are high for his upcoming bout.

Looking beyond Gastelum, Brady has expressed interest in facing Ian Garry, with whom he had previously sought a matchup. In an interview ahead of the Fight Night event, Brady criticized Garry’s recent departure from their shared gym in South Florida, labeling it disrespectful to the gym family.

Brady stated, “…to kind of do the sh*t that he’s been doing and then talking about training and how the guys know how good he is and he’s beating everybody up in the gym, and now I see Brendan Allen was calling him out and he’s starting to get some backlash. I just think that sh*t’s wack.”
