Sean Brady made waves in the combat sports world as he closed out 2024 with a dominant performance at Fury Pro Grappling 12. Competing in front of a hometown crowd at the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Brady faced off against Richie Martinez in a thrilling headliner. With precision and skill, the 19-1 welterweight secured victory via a nasty mounted guillotine, earning an emphatic tap from his opponent.
This triumphant moment marked yet another milestone in Brady’s career resurgence. After suffering his only professional loss to Belal Muhammad at UFC 280 in October 2022, Brady has been on a redemption arc. In December 2023, he showcased his grappling prowess by submitting Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Austin. He followed that up with a masterclass performance against Gilbert Burns in his first UFC main event at UFC Vegas 97, earning a decisive victory on the judges’ scorecards.
Brady’s grappling win wasn’t just about the action in the cage; it was also a platform for a bold statement. Post-fight, Brady grabbed the microphone and called out former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards, setting his sights on a showdown at the UFC’s London event in March. With confidence, Brady declared:
“I want to go to London and I want to fight Leon in his backyard March 22. So hopefully the UFC can make that happen, but we’ll see.”
As the UFC fans eagerly await confirmation of this potential clash, it’s clear that Brady is on a mission to solidify his place among the division’s elite. With momentum on his side, a fight against Edwards could be a stepping stone toward a title shot for the determined welterweight.
