Sean Brady wants to fight Ian Garry or Colby Covington after his last UFC victory


Sean Brady wants to fight Ian Garry or Colby Covington after his last UFC victory

LAS VEGAS – Ian Machado Garry or Colby Covington. These are the two names that Sean Brady wants after his recent victory in the Octagon.

Last Saturday, Brady (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) defeated former UFC title challenger Gilbert Burns (22-8 MMA, 15-8 UFC) in a dominant unanimous decision victory. The welterweight bout was the main event of UFC Fight Night 242 at the UFC Apex.

In his post-fight cage interview, Brady called out Garry, but in the post-fight press conference he added another name to the call.

“I just think Ian thinks he’s God’s gift to the earth, but he’s not, and I feel like everyone in this sport feels the same way,” Brady told reporters backstage. “I’m going to fight him. I’m going to fight Colby (Covington). I think Colby is the easiest opponent in the division. I’m going to put him on his feet. I’m going to beat him like a rag doll.”

“I’d love to fight Ian – he’s an up-and-coming fighter. I’m a little older than him, but I want to be here for a long time. He’s undefeated and he’s got some hype. He said before that he won’t fight guys ranked behind him, but I’ll be ranked ahead of him with that 6th on Tuesday. So yeah, maybe I’ll let him fight me. We’ll see how that goes.”

Brady and his wife are expecting a child in February and would like to have one more fight before then. When asked if he thought Garry or Covington would fight him, Brady said he had a good chance.

“You can’t turn down too many opportunities,” Brady said. “I’m going home now, checking my bumps and bruises and we’ll see where we stand. But Colby or Ian Garry sounds like an exciting choice. Maybe in December or early January. Like I said, before February 13th.”
