Sean Brady has quickly become a sensation in the welterweight division, emerging as a top title contender alongside Shavkat Rakhmonov. He shook up the 170-pound ranks with a dominant win over former champion Leon Edwards at UFC London. Now, the American fighter is on a mission for the welterweight title and ready to take on anyone in his path.
Rakhmonov’s knee injury has sidelined him from a potential title shot at UFC 315, and with no clear update on his return, he may have to step aside for rising contender Sean Brady. The 32-year-old welterweight climbed to the top of the division with his dominant win over Leon Edwards, earning the No. 1 spot and positioning himself as the next title challenger.
In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Brady made it clear that he’s more than ready if a fight with Rakhmonov is necessary before getting his shot at gold. In the interview, Brady said,
“I’m the best fighter in the world. So if I have to go beat Shavkat and then fight for the belt, I’m cool with that.”
