A great finish from Sean Brady just as I was posting... Great performance from Brady throughout... Matthews is decent, but Brady was better 🤔👊🥊👏👏👍

Excellent performance by Brady

Predictions: 11 of 15 Winners, 6 Perfect, 750 Points   |   Tied for 54th

Brady displayed excellent ground game as well as decent striking (he hurt Matthews with one hand early in the third round). It would be interesting to see Brady face Demian Maia or Neil Magny.

I like both of these guys as prospects. I hope a loss doesn’t put either too far back. Ulberg isn’t the fighter they are saying he is but I do think he’s the more experienced striker still and they have intentionally matched him up against someone that doesn’t grapple
