Sean Brady still interested in fighting Ian Machado Garry.
Brady (16-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) faces former title challenger Gilberto Burns (22-7 MMA, 15-7 UFC) at UFC Fight Night on September 7 as the UFC Apex headliner in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Garry (15-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) remained undefeated by defeating Michael Page at UFC 303. Brady was not impressed with what he saw from the Irishman.
“To be completely honest, I’m not impressed – I’m not impressed with Ian. I’m not impressed with the MVP either,” Brady said. Lucas Tomás. “Ian keeps saying he wants Shavkat (Rakhmonov), he wants this, he wants that. I thought he barely survived that fight. It could have been a draw in my book. I didn’t really see where he thought he did an amazing job.”
Garry almost submitted Page in the first round when he was on his back, but was unable to land the rear naked choke. Brady was critical of Garry’s fight and wants a piece of him if he gets past Burns.
“Ian got on (Page’s) back but couldn’t do anything about it,” Brady added. “Even in the first round he had the body triangle and was almost completely locked in the rear naked choke, you have Demian Maia in your corner and you can’t finish ‘MVP’? Even during the standup, his feet were cracked and he didn’t want to take part in it anymore.
“He was saying he was going to knock out the ‘MVP’ in the first round and he barely landed a punch. He’s got a lot of work to do, and I hope – obviously not looking beyond Gilbert, but I beat Gilbert, Ian said he wants to fight again in December, I can turn it around and he and I can finally do it. this.”
