Who's gonna win: Belal Muhammad or Sean Brady?

Belal by decision, rounds 2 & 3. Might even get a late round 3 finish if he can force a high pace like Chiesa did.

Belal has great tdd, much better kickboxing, & better cardio. I was surprised to catch him +120 or +130, I expect he'll be at least -110 come fight night.

Thanks for the answer. How would Shavkat do against both in your opinion?
 
Brady's one of those fighters I don't really remember very clearly.

Belal, on the other hand, I have a good handle on what he's all about.

I'll have to look into Brady, he seems to be a bit of an enigma to me. All I know is, he grapples.
 
My mind thinks Brady out grapples belal and controls him for a boring UD, but I've been wrong about belal way too many times. If coach khabib gives belal a strong game plan, he can 100% take it. Keep it mind Brady claims his poor cardio was due to a bad nose that he had surgery on. This fight will test whether his cardio is for real now that the nose is fixed.
 
Brady I'd be surprised if he doesn't 30-27 belal, he'll be too strong and fast for belal and without having his own wrestling to outwork brady it's going to be a bad night for him.

See here's my issue. Brady is the superior fighter to Belal in terms of strength and grappling. However, Luque, Wonderboy, and Maia were all superior fighters due to strength, skill, standup or whatever. Belal is one of those fighters whose ok at everything who beats elite fighters because he has a smart gameplan and frankly, Brady is pretty one dimensional. Strong guy, great grappler, but his striking doesn't scare anyone and he has legitimate cardio worries. People who stand at 5'8 (realistically) are not gonna last long with so much muscle on them compared to a leaner fighter like Colby. Especially with a smart coach like Khabib, there is plenty Belal could work with for a smart gameplan which he has done before.
Imo this makes this fight interesting. Even though we won't see much action, we'd see if Belal could gameplan around a stronger fighter who has some limitations. I don't see belal winning the first round, but if he could tire out Brady and keep it standing in the later rounds, he should win a decision but obviously, no guarantees.
