New contender emerges
WelterweightUFC
March 22, 2025
Brady defeated Leon Edwards via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:39 of Round 4 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
That type of performance, against a former world champion, is going to earn you a title shot in the near future. In the short term, Brady will walk away with one of four $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening. Brady agreed to face Edwards on enemy soil and responded with what was by far the best performance of his career. He closed with a 221-23 edge in total strikes landed, in addition to connecting on 5-of-7 takedowns for 11:10 worth of control time. It was about as dominant of a performance as you will ever see. Brady has limited power and his striking isn't great, but the grappling is a legitimate difference-maker, even at the highest level. The biggest thing working against Sean at this point is that he fought current UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad back in October 2022 and lost via second-round knockout. He may need one more big win to get a shot at the gold.

Brady will face Leon Edwards in a welterweight fight at UFC London on March 22.
ANALYSIS
Brady is coming off a victory in his first UFC main event and will look to build on his previous performance against Edwards, a former UFC champion. The 5-foot-10 brawler will look to extend his UFC record to 8-1 with the victory and put his name in the title conversation. He gets this opportunity on relatively short notice, as Edwards was originally supposed to face Jack Della Maddalena here, but the latter was abruptly removed in favor of a title shot at UFC 315.
Shines in first UFC main event
WelterweightUFC
September 7, 2024
Brady defeated Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 49-46) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Burns is an aging opponent and lightyears from his prime, but this was an impressive bell-to-bell effort from Brady in all aspects of the fight. The numbers were startling. Sean finished with a 274-76 edge in terms of total strikes landed. He also connected on seven takedown attempts, good for 10:34 worth of control time. The offensive thrusts Burns had were few and far between. Brady was always there to immediately regain the momentum. Sean has always been a good wrestler, and his stand-up skills, while not elite, have become serviceable. It's an intriguing overall package. The 31-year-old Philadelphia native is now 7-1 in the UFC, with the lone setback coming against current UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad back in October 2022.

Brady (undisclosed) is scheduled to compete against Gilbert Burns in a five-round welterweight fight at the UFC's Sept. 7 event, per Mike Bohn and Farah Hannoun of MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
For the first time, Brady will participate in a five-round UFC fight. He takes on No. 6 Burns, who has fought Kamaru Usman for the UFC Welterweight Championship once before. Brady will have momentum favoring him compared to his opponent, fighting off back-to-back losses against top contenders Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena. The 31-year-old American's last win was via kimura to Kelvin Gastelum in December.
Not fighting Luque

January 31, 2024
Brady (undisclosed) is not fighting Vicente Luque at UFC Atlantic City, according to MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
Despite the fact that UFC CEO Dana White announced a fight between Brady and Luque, they never signed a bout agreement, as the former was dealing with an undisclosed injury that is still affecting him. With how severe it sounds, there stands at least a decent chance that he will not be able to compete until the second half of 2024.

January 12, 2024
Brady is scheduled to face Vicente Luque in a welterweight matchup at the UFC's March 30 event in Atlantic City, UFC president Dana White announced Friday via social media.
ANALYSIS
Brady is coming off an impressive win against Kelvin Gastelum in December last year, but that was his lone fight in 2023 since his two previous bouts were canceled. When counting only the fights that did happen, Brady has gone 4-1 over his last five events.
