Sean Brady mocks Leon Edwards for tapping out as UFC London feud continues after stoppage
Sean Brady and Leon Edwards were still angry with each other even after their grudge fight came to an end.
Itâs generally a custom in MMA for fighters to embrace and settle their feuds after a fight, but it seems that the UFC London main event was a bit different. Brady claims that the former champion was âstill saltyâ after he was dominated and submitted in a lacklustre main event.
Edwards struggled with the grappling of Brady over four rounds before he was put in a guillotine and tapped out. And the Philadelphia native joked that he would rather be put to sleep than submit in his home town.

âNobodyâs ever did it like me and then I submitted him and made him quit in front of his home town. If we were in Philly you ainât making me quit in front of my home town Iâm telling you that. Iâm going to sleep, son. So just remember that.â

He has actively supported his rivalâs victories since then, noting that it makes his defeat age better with every bit of success Muhammad has.
While the champion defends his belt for the first time at UFC 315 against Jack Della Maddalena, it seems that Brady is pushing to be the next contender. âYou tell me, is it a statement coming in here and beating Leon in his hometown?â he asked the media when quizzed about whatâs next.
âI just dominated Gilbert Burns, I just dominated Leon Edwards, so I think Iâm right there.â Muhammad struggled to decision wins over Burns and Edwards, while Brady comfortably defeated both, even stopping the former champion.
