Sean Brady doesn’t suppose Ian Machado Garry must be within the UFC title image.
Machado Garry was angry that the promotion didn’t consider him as a alternative opponent for Shavkat Rakhmonov towards welterweight champion Belal Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) within the UFC 315 headliner Might 10 in Montreal. The promotion opted to offer Jack Della Maddalena (17-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) the shot as a substitute.
Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) dominated and submitted former champion Leon Edwards in Saturday’s UFC Struggle Night time 255 headliner in London. In the meantime, Machado Garry (15-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) is coming off a decision loss to Rakhmonov at UFC 310.
When requested if he’d take into account going through Machado Garry subsequent, Brady shut that concept down.
“I went on the market, I took this chance – I heard he was b*tching that he didn’t get the struggle with Belal,” Brady stated on “The Ariel Helwani Show.” “Bro, you misplaced your struggle, What are you speaking about? You got here in second place. You don’t get to be rewarded for that.
“It made probably the most sense for it to be Jack. (Machado Garry is) No. 7 at this level? Misplaced his final struggle. I’ve gained my final three, simply beat a former champion who was a very good champion. I’ve acquired larger issues happening than Ian Machado Garry.”
As a substitute, the now No. 1-ranked Brady has his sights set on both the welterweight title or a No. 1 contender bout.
“I’d have an interest within the loser of the title struggle. I’d have an interest within the winner of the title struggle, or I’d be excited about Shavkat,” Brady stated.
