UFC 264: Kevin Lee vs Sean Brady, why no hype?

[JustOnce]

This match up is one of many great fights on the UFC 264. This is a phenomenal fight, but no one is talking about this fight at all. Wtf.

Sean Brady is 14-0 (4-0 UFC), and Kevin Lee is just coming off a great ko win against Gregor who looked phenomenal in his last fight. Well I stand corrected, he fought Oliveira who's a current LW champ after that.

I am on Brady bandwaggon, I think he can be top 5 at least and I don't like Kevin Lee, but this is very interesting fight because

Kevin Lee has 5 inch reach advantage. That can be a significant reach advantage, especially in a fight between two plodding wrestler/grapplers.

And Sean Brady's pretty complete fighter, but his go to is his suffocating top game, but I happen to think, cardio permitting, Kevin Lee can outwrestle Sean Brady. I think Kevin is a better wrestler of the two. Brady tend to just power through people, but Kevin Lee should be a better wrestler of the two.

This is a very very interesting fight. I personally think though Brady is undefeated welterweight, and Kevin Lee is Kevin Lee, Kevin Lee is a tough match up for Brady, only because styles make fights.

At the end of the day, Kevin Lee often finds a way to snatch the defeat out of the jaws of victory, and Sean Brady finds a way to win, so I'd favour Brady, but if you ask me, I personally think Brady has much easier match up than Kevin Lee at top 5 and top 10. I mean Chiesa is top 6 for fuck's sake, whom Kevin Lee has a submission win over.

Being on Brady bandwaggon, I wish Brady took on a different fight. I really think unless Kevin Lee once again finds a way to lose, he is more than capable of upsetting unbeaten welterweight in Brady. But Kevin Lee never fails to underperform and give away wins and find a way to lose....so we will see...

I didn't even know it was a figh so maybe that has something to do with it having no hype

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

I'm predicting that Lee will gas and get subbed in the third round. Brady is too strong and has displayed better cardio than Lee.

But yeah, I'm hyped for this one

 

[Kos Fan]

It’s the fight I’m looking forward to the most. War Brady.

I like Brady by sub in round 3

Welp, was a little late.

Sean Brady?



EDIT: Checked his wiki page. Apparently he beat Christina Aguilera?!

Spoiler

 

[Kenny Powerth]

This fight is def flying under the radar.

I’m more pumped up for this than I am the first 3 fights of the main card

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

is it FKL's last chance before getting cut?

Sean Brady?

A guy who would give Khamzat a run for his money. Remember his name, this guy is uber prospect.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Welp, was a little late.

I won a nice little bit on Brady by third round sub on his last time out haha

 

[13Seconds]

Probably because Lee is coming from a loss and hasn't fought in a while. Sean Brady is a good prospect but no one knows who he is. Hence no hype.

Lol nice. I think Kevin Lee can win this though. If Kevin Lee doesn't find a way to lose again, I think he can win this. Dont' like this match up for Brady. I'd even rather have him against Khamzat than Kevin Lee, when I think Khamzat would beat even Covington, and I don't even like Kevin Lee.

I just think this isn't a good match up for Brady. I'd think most likely outcome is Kevin Lee snatching the defeat out of jaws of victory though...

 

[Phisher]

I still think that Lee has a lot of upside, and his performance against Oliveira isn't that bad in hindsight.

How dare you besmirch the name of KhamGOAT SMESHmaev!

Spoiler: Seriously tho...

I'll take your a advice and keep this dude in mind. Especially if he ends up beating FKL.

I think Brady can end Khamzat hype. But I don't really like this Kevin Lee fight.

 

[ASKRENSPIN]

Why would anyone be hyped about two manlets fighting?

 

[RustyShacleford]

Wasn't aware of it, but I'm excited now that I am. Gotta check the line on Brady.

 

[Eiger]

I'm excited for it, but if there's no hype behind it, it might be because Brady is still mostly unknown to the masses/casuals. That's my impression anyway. I never see/hear anything about him outside of his fight nights.

 

[Bubba32]

Because it's kevin lee.
