Imo Sean Brady is a legit contender

[MarleyLynx]

I've kept my eye on him. I think he's one of the top grapplers in the division for sure. Tonight, he showed he evolved LEVELS in a very short period of time.
I think you can feed him Garry and Covington rn into a title shot. The rematch w Lawl is great and I think his biggest threat is likely Usman who's lost his last 3 so he's got a safe route.

Garry he could trouble if he can get past that reach. JDM faceplants him. The difference in striking is far greater than the difference in grappling.

JDM vs Brady was the canceled fight that I was most bummed by

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Yeah.. but he will not get a TS vs Belal.. after all he is the only guy Belal finished in like 89 years.

I was really surprised by JDM grappling vs Giblert. Dude more than held his own.

Sean would try to push him against the fence tho.. that is a different type of grappling

Yah he's probably a few wins away

 

[sanguinius]

He's certainly in my top 3 fighters I want to see brutally ktfo. His tko against Belal didn't remotely satisfy by bloodlust.

What did he do?

It really sucks that jdm sean was cancelled. Maybe it was for the better because we saw what Hafez did to JDM, this way we can see both fighters meet up after making improvements.

 

[Momentosis]

Good Cardio. Good Grappling. OK striking. He'll probably be like the new Colby.

 

[Kungpowking]

Sean just beat a top 10 ranked guy, so he is definitely in a contender. Can he get to match for a strap? That's TBD. But its well within the realm of possibility.

 

[Fact Checker]

No reason to double down on a bad projection of a fighter… it’s safe to say bros a bust.


Brady just doesn’t have the intangibles to be a championship caliber fighter. He has good skills, but physically he has no explosion, subpar speed, no power, and pedestrian cardio.


He’s probably peaked as a gatekeeper. Which isn’t bad for a loaded division like WW.

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

burns has been over the hill a for a while now.
some fighters looked good vs tony ferguson, it doesnt mean that much. of course vs burns it is not that severe but Brady's stock doenst go that much up by beating Burns in this day and age

 

[StonedLemur]

I don't know his striking is just not good and he has 0 power. He is a unique matchup problem for WWs with sus grappling but overall I dont think hes a legit contender to touch the belt.

Kid is built like a tank, and much like Vettori he couldn't bust a fortune cookie sir lol

Colby's cardio was a lot better tbh

Bro's only loss is to the champ lmao. Brady just handled someone who Khamzat was afraid of taking to the ground.

Good cardio? He’s in his prime and gassed in just about all of his fights. He’s lucky Burns is past his prime and on a losing streak. If he would’ve pressured Burns a little bit he would’ve folded like he did against Belal and even Chiesa before the clock ran out.

 

[Mammothman]

Give him Edwards or Garry, Usman have unfinished business with Shavkat

Context matters: Burns is now nearly 40 and was on a 2 fight losing streak going into this fight and Brady couldn’t do anything with him.


Khamzat brought it to Burns who was still in his prime. His only loss at WW at the time was against Usman who was in his prime aswell.


Don’t be disingenuous and think you won’t get Fact Checked lmao.

 

[Pechan]

If you mean he can hug some of the top 10 against the cage for several minutes? Sure.

Can't say I will bother to watch his next fight.

i think both edwards and garry get wrestlefcked by brady. JDM is a more interesting fight since JDM showed he could handle burns on the ground to some extent. In addition Brady and JDM have business to settle

Burns was literally 35 against Khamzat, I don't think that was prime burns.

Perennial gatekeeper. Will might get a title shot at some point but no way he wins.
