Sean Brady vs Leon Edwards, why no hype?

[The_Renaissance]

I don't think it's a very good card to be honest. The main event is gonna be a slog to sit through I'd imagine and there's not much standout action elsewhere outside of 3-4 fights.

But, 5pm start, so I'll definitely be there from the start!

Historically difficult to get hyped for a Leon fight.

 

[JustOnce]

Both are boring and neither one can beat Belal.

well I wouldn't say neither one can lol

Belal beat them fair and square, but it's not given he'd win that rematches for sure

but he did whoop both their asses tho

 

[JustOnce]

Brady has all the momentum but Edwards should be able to stuff Brady's takedowns if he's still 100%-in mentally

I guess we will find out.

Leon got his ass whooped, but let's not forget, he was one of only few elite guys who was willing to go against Khamzat, and he isn't BJJ wiz like Burns either.

 

[JustOnce]

Cause Sean Brady always put a stinker

lmao he can finish people on the ground but yeah I guess he's not the most exciting guy around.

what's funny though, in terms of skillset, he might be more exciting than Pimblett tho lol

but they just eat up paddy don't they

Brady’s last two fights were good, I’m hyped.

Weren't most exciting fights, but he put up a good performane

Kelvin has such a low fight IQ it's funny sometimes the guy probably would've been never been champs in bellator nor pfl.

A guy GOATlal beat vs another guy GOATlal beat

Tbf it's hard to find guys in that weight class that GOATlal hasn't beat

It's kinda funny tho lol Belal gets hated on so bad but he's on some kinda run. not sure if he beats JDM, but haha it would be hilarious if he beats JDM and Shavkat lol.

the server down! lol

Both are good but often are in boring/ok fights.

The WW division is just not exciting at all right now

yeah ww division isn't all that great....but belal is looking real good though

his performance against leon was very impressive. i guess we will find out if it was leon that had an off night or belal became that good

but yeah these guys are fairly boring fighters.....good but boring.

still would rather watch these guys than guys like holland who's fighting on the same card, exciting but slightly above average can crusher. with that said, i favour gunnie slightly not sure how that fight would go.

 

[JustOnce]

Because Leon is boring to watch more often than not, and Brady's winning condition is to embrace the grind and control him on the mat. Regardless of how it goes you will most likely get 25 minutes of point fighting and no one gets excited for that.

They're great fighters though, no doubt.

I know right? Two of the greatest decision fighters in the welterweight division history. Someone's gotta lose(probably), will they go out swinging? Or...

I like Leon but he seems half asleep sometimes. and Brady just looks like a create-a-fighter who moved the slider on "Tattoos" all the way to the right. I've never even heard him talk. he could sound like gilbert gottfried for all I know. it doesn't exactly scream "excitement". but as usual, a lot of these problems could be remedied fairly quickly if the promotional arm of this large multi-national combat promotion actually did any promoting

LMAAAAAAOOOOOO Brady let's be honest so he's a good looking dude with a ripped body. I think that's why UFC is pushing him and he's good but he got that look kinda like GSP did. lol he sounds normal man, I remember trying to look him up and trying to get a read on the guy and break him down. no brazilian accent lol he from phily? i think

yeah you know since you mention it, no promotion for this one lol

 

[Natural Order]

When has there ever been hype before a Leon Scott scrap?

 

[JustOnce]

stuff bradys takedown like belal did and you dominate him. thats all leon has to do. can he?

it's not that easy cuz brady is willing to scrap, though largely wanting to take the fight down. that's why gilbert got uded.

we will see! it's a gud fight!

two boring fighters CAN result in an exciting fight!

 

[JustOnce]

I'm looking forward to it, fully expecting Sean Brady to come into London and dominate. He'll catch a lot of people off guard with how good he looks this fight.

he's a favourite tho, brady, we will see. if belal exposed leon, then brady gonna run him over

if leon actually had a rough night, brady could have a long night

i favour brady, kinda agree with the odds for this one, sounds right.

 

[JustOnce]

Brady style is not very fan friendly and Edwards fights not to get finished.

Neither style is that fan friendly to be fair lol, yeah Leon isn't really one to look for finishes, great come back against usman aside.

But Leon was on some kind of a run, and Brady minus Belal is too in a way.

You put two boring fights pitted against one another, it could lead to some action possibly. We will find out!

 

[JustOnce]

you got the good answers...they are not very marketable at all too...the leon edward headshot meme are pretty much over-done.

to be fair, that head kick come back is legendary.

I don't know if that will ever be topped soon.

 

[CasualBot]

Leon has one good moment in all his fights.

That's why.

I will watch for sure... but I don't expect something great

I think there are two good fights on it. Leon vs Brady, and Gunnar vs Holland. Jan fight could be nice too.

Also, if Holland loses, I mean I can see UFC loves the guy, but this mofo seems to be just coming into collect cheques and he will never be elite fighter. Gunnar is half retired, so he might beat him but if he doesn't, how long do they keep that guy around?

I mean he's like slightly better version of Perry.

lol it's true but Usman fight was there though, it had some hype to it

Usman fight.

If Khamzat fight happened, that too

But not a lot lol
