Main Card
Sean Brady
Currently ranked eighth in the UFC welterweight rankings, Brady (15-0, 5-0 UFC) has taken the UFC by storm after spending his time in the independent circuits. The Philadelphia native has racked up wins over Court McGee, Ismael Naurdiev, Christian Aguilera, Jake Matthews and Chiesa. His submission win over Aguilera even merited him a Performance of the Night bonus. Sean Brady will be in for his toughest task in his career as he faces the veteran Muhammad, who has also fought the best fighters in the division, including current UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards. Brady has won seven of his 15 fights via stoppage (three knockouts and four submissions) and he hopes to use his abilities to secure his 16th-straight win against Muhammad.
Belal Muhammad
Belal Muhammad (21-3, 1 no contest, 12-3, I NC UFC) has been outstanding in the UFC since coming out of the independent fight scene undefeated. However, he had a slow start in his career in the octagon, winning five of his first eight fights. But since losing his third bout against Geoff Neal, Muhammad has been on a tear, racking up seven wins and one no contest (against Edwards). The streak included victories against veterans Demian Maia, Dhiego Lima, Stephem Thompson and Luque. Muhammad and Brady were supposed to fight each other in UFC Fight Night 183 in December 2020 but the fight was called off after the latter pulled out due to a broken nose. Now, they will clash to see who’s the better fighter in the division.
