Sean Brady continues to prove his lone loss to Belal Muhammad won’t define him by climbing further up the rankings in the UFC Fight Night 242 main event.

Brady (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) took his value as a welterweight contender to the next level Saturday with a unanimous decision win over former title challenger Burns (22-8 MMA, 15-8 UFC) at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Since losing to Muhammad in October 2022, Brady has now rebounded with back-to-back winning performances against Burns and Kelvin Gastelum. He’s now going big-game hunting, and called for Ian Machado Garry or Colby Covington next in the aftermath of his effort.

Will Brady get either of those matchups, though, or is he best suited in another direction? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after the UFC Fight Night 242 main event.
