As an Australian rooting for JDM, Sean Brady scares me a little because even tho he has no stiking at all, He is an elite wresler who strong AF, And JDM has been take down and was put in submession by Emmev and Lossa, so he's not impossble to out grapple, 

Going to pick JDM by either round 2/3 KO because i'm also sus on Brady cardio, Could see Brady gas with the sucess grappling and get KO late

Most to all BJJ prodigies fail because they can't wrestle, Sean Brady has solid wrestling to back up his jiu-jitsu, Having wrestling mix with jiu-jitsu will win fight, My biggest worry for Brady is that welterweight is the grappler divsion, Think being a one dimensional wresler/Jiu-jitsu will work better in literally any other division, This is why Brady be a good gatekeeper, He can wrestle a lot of people, But lose to the elite fighter because they're well rounded fighter that can stop he's one dimensional game , that why i'm exited for JDM vs Brady, It's a real measuring stick for JDM. He either be who people think he is  or isn't, 

I'm taking JDM to win, Just won't be shocked if Brady wins this, Brady going to be a solid gatekeeper unless or until he improve striking, And a fighter who has the hands like JDM has, If he can stuff Brady's takedown, He be elite at 170

Ok duck I never noticed how good his wrestling was I'm an idiot doubt it help here.
Of course the average schoolgirl has better striking than Sean I laughed hysterically when commentators were saying his striking was good and powerful as he melted to Bels 1d4 punches priceless.

Have a 5-ver on Volk by sub at +1400, If Volk going to wresle Yair, Isn’t they’re a chance he submet him 

And I think if Volk want to stand, it should be line close, Volk still wins most likely, but it be close

Calling Sean Brady an "over-rated BJJ prodigy" because he (finally) lost to arguably the #1 contender in his weight class who was on a 7 fight (now 9) win streak is just disrespectful.

there's no shame in losing to Belal the way someone like Wonderboy did, but I think there is shame in losing to Belal the way Brady did. that was pretty embarrassing (and extremely worrying ahead of a matchup against someone like JDM). for the record I'm not calling Brady overrated, I think he's properly rated, but I can understand why someone would be turned off after that performance

Brady is a great fighter but he’s reached his celing. Doing tape study for this, I found out that his two biggest issues in the ufc (striking defense and gas tank) have been prevalent his whole career. I thought the cardio was due to his nose being broken in the chiesa fight but nope, it’s been like that since regionals. That leads me to believe he will never get higher than top 10. Phenomenal grappler and actually solid boxing; I know the belal fight was a bad look but he was landing a lot on belal, just his cardio couldn’t handle the pressure. Watching his other fights his striking is pretty good as well, the only issue is he gets hit a lot with his style; something that you don’t want to be against JDM. For Brady to even have a chance at winning, he’s gonna have to shoot instantly like emeev did. Otherwise, this will be a repeat of the belal fight; JDM is gonna swarm him from the start with his boxing. He probably sleeps Brady round 1 tho. I’m not a huge Brady fan but he is ******** for taking this fight after losing his 0. This fight is gonna badly kill whatever hype he had left

For all the bettors here 

Some idiot on Twitter placed a max bet on Sean Brady. It moved the line close to a pickem, so hammer JDM while you can
