Sean Brady's Wrestling Background

[gracie_barra_samurai]

Did he wrestle in high school/college?

Leon was supposed to have elite anti-wrestling and his coaches claimed he had good wrestling but he got totally mogged.

It looks like Sean started training BJJ around 16 with no wrestling chops. I think this puts to bed that UK wrestling is catching up to USA's lol.

No, this is why he will fall
to fighters trained by the grandmaster

@HuskySamoan wants wrestling to be able to claim him, but he's a bjj guy. A Gracie black belt. Obviously he trains wrestling for MMA, though.

The Gracie family needs to knight him with a red belt so people see him as their representative in MMA instead of Kron.

rare high level bjj guy who has great wrestling, honestly satisfying to watch since we're used to bjj guys shooting shitty takedowns

 

[Hymen Crusher]

It's nice to see offensive grappling not the shit we are usually subjected too.

 

[mister piscadinha]

brady is a natural talent at grappling, u can pick something up late if ur natural talent

I never claimed he had a wrestling background but as far as his MMA goes, he's a wrestler.

Because it seems Brady is not stubborn, most Jiu Jitsu fighters don’t train enough wrestling and vice versa. Leon does have good anti wrestling, but grapplin, submssions and someone like Brady who’s actually trying to create openings for a finish is entirely different than Covington and Usman who are one dimensional wrestlers who focus on grappling, positioning with minimal GnP and almost non existent offensive submssions. Not all wrestlers are the same.

I figured he was an All-American or something.

If he really has no wrestling background, he's second only to GSP for being able to pick it up for MMA.

Brady is an Olympic freestyle gold medalist. Won the world championships twice also.

All the mat grappling that won brady the fight is bjj. Just because he has some takedowns, he's a wrestler in mma? Was Maia a wrestler in MMA too? BJJ claims this one!

Here he is telling us he's not a wrestler

 

[Pious Augustus]

Belal is scared!

Quit ducking Brady!

 

[FreedomCricket]

Leon is very over rated. Always has been.

 

[sabretitan]

NNo

Nope, grappler is what you're looking for

 

[Kertol]

He's just a really strong BJJ athlete who has the physical strength where it looks like he wrestled.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

He supposedly takes down really good wrestlers at the gym too, and he didnt really wrestle before which is impressive


He just grasped that aspect really well

Yeah, Maia kinda was. Abnormally good takedowns for a BJJ guy.

 

[bigfootsbreath]

what kind of bullshit stoppage was that? Dude was trying to pull a mark goddamn?

 

[Doctor Grudge]

To my knowledge he didn't wrestle, or he did like 8th grade wrestling or some shit.
