Sean Brady sent shockwaves through the welterweight division this past Saturday when he went into enemy territory and became the first to finish former champion Leon Edwards in the UFC Fight Night 255 main event.
Fresh off losing the belt to Belal Muhammad in July, Edwards (22-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) was keen to deliver a statement that championships are not only in his past, but in his future, as well. Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) had a different plan, because he scored a fourth-round submission of “Rocky” in the headliner at The O2 in London.
Sean Brady shook up the welterweight title conversation with his UFC Fight Night 255 finish Leon Edwards. Can he get a title shot? The “Spinning Back Clique” panel debates.
With Muhammad scheduled to put gold on the line against Jack Della Maddalena in the UFC 315 main event on May 10 in Montreal, and Shavkat Rakhmonov stated to have dibs on facing the winner, there is much debate about where Brady now fits in among the highest echelon at 170 pounds.
That was a topic of conversation on this week’s episode of “Spinning Back Clique,” where the panel of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn, Danny Segura and host “Gorgeous” George Garcia discussed how what’s now one of the UFC’s most intriguing divisions will unfold going forward.
