Sean Brady made an undeniable statement Saturday when he went into enemy territory and defeated former champion Leon Edwards in the UFC Fight Night 255 main event.
Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) not only beat Edwards (21-5 MMA, 13-4 UFC), but he became the first to finish him in MMA competition with a fourth-round submission at The O2 in London. The American continues to fill out a resume that has just one blemish against current titleholder Belal Muhammad, and with every win he is making the case for a rematch.
