Sean Brady issued callouts to Ian Garry and Colby Covington after a win over Gilbert Burns at UFC Fight Night 242.
Brady headlined the first UFC card of his career against Burns at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday. Brady went on to outclass Burns in all aspects to grind out a unanimous decision victory, which he acknowledges as the biggest win of his career thus far.
Brady called out Garry in his post-fight Octagon interview, further elaborating on it at the post-fight media scrum. The Philadelphia native believes Garry thinks too highly of himself. Brady also called out former title challenger Covington, whom he considers the easiest matchup in the division. Brady vows to dominate “Chaos” both on the feet and in the ground in a potential matchup.
“I think Ian just thinks that he is f—-ing God’s gift to earth and he’s not. And I feel like everyone in the sport feels the same way,” Brady said. “I mean I’ll fight him, I’ll fight Colby. I think Colby’s the easiest matchup in this division. I’ll piece him up on the feet. I’ll ragdoll him. But I would like to fight Ian. He’s an up and comer. I’m a little bit older than him. But I’m gonna be here for a long time. He’s undefeated, he’s got some hype. Before he said, ‘I won’t fight guys who are ranked behind me.’ I’m gonna be ranked ahead of him on Tuesday with that No.6 spot. So yeah, maybe I’ll let him fight me.”
Brady is also intent on fighting against before February 2025, when he is expecting a baby girl with his wife.
