Sean Brady made sure to make his fans forget about his knockout loss to Belal Muhammad when he faced Gilbert Burns. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, native has been one of the most dominant fighters in the welterweight division but his lone loss against Muhammad derailed his confidence. However, it appears that Brady now has a newfound confidence as he defeated Burns by way of a unanimous decision in UFC Vegas 97.

Sean Brady’s gameplan was simple, it was to be sure that that Gilbert Burns doesn’t get close to him and be sure to maintain distance. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, native pushed the pace since the very first round and shoved ‘Durihno’ against the fence, Brady was trying to make sure that he took down Burns but it was largely fended off by the Brazilian in round three, Burns got the taste of dominant grappling.

The fighter got the victory by way of a unanimous decision (50-45, 49-46, 50-45). After the victory, Brady called out Ian Garry for a fight, “I mean Obviously I want someone from the top five. but if not then me and Ian have the same f**king manager Lou run that S**t.” That’s not all as even Belal Muhammad was impressed by the performance as he took to his X handle to write, “Man Brady is gonna be tough to beat”
