Although only Belal Muhammad | e Jack Della Maddalena be in action in the main fight of UFC 315, the result could directly impact other fighters. Behind the scenes, the expectation is that an eventual defeat of the Palestinian will pave the way for the rise of Islam makhachev, current lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg), which would drastically change the welterweight scenario (up to 77 kg). Keeping an eye on the moves, Sean brady, number one in the ranking, is already making plans to not be left out of the race for the belt.

During the broadcast of the official weigh-in of the UFC 315, Brady stated that a victory for Belal would increase his chances of fighting for the title. However, if the Palestinian is defeated, he believes that Makhachev will be directly promoted to the title fight. To avoid being left standing still, the American suggested a confrontation with Ian Gary towards the end of the summer, and argued that the winner of this duel should be recognized as the true next challenger.

“I think if Belal wins, I have a better chance of fighting for the belt. But if he loses, Islam should move up a weight class. I want to fight. Ian and I should fight. Whoever wins… even if Belal wins and takes a while off, I want to fight at the end of the summer, like in August. Let Ian and I fight. And then whoever wins that fight will be the real contender,” he said. Sean brady.

Sean brady also criticized the stance of Ian Gary behind the scenes at the UFC. According to the American, the Irishman would be refusing any fight that is not worth the belt, which he classified as “crazy”. Brady stated that he would immediately accept a contract to face Garry and reinforced his desire to face his rival.

“Ian is saying he won’t take any fights. Ian Gary said he will only accept fighting if it's for the belt, which is crazy. This is absurd. If they send me a contract with the name of the Ian Gary, I'll sign it right away. Let's fight and see what happens”, concluded the American.

At 32, Sean brady has 19 wins and only one loss in his career, precisely for Belal Muhammad |, who knocked him out. The American is in good form, with three consecutive triumphs, the last about the former champion Leon edwards.
