Brady Claims Edwards’ Team Has Sour Grapes
While not exactly rare, it isn’t too often to see a winning fighter hold a grudge with his fallen opponent. That’s the case with Sean Brady, however, as he appeared on “The Ariel Helwani Show” to reveal that Leon Edwards and his team gave him the cold shoulder post-fight (h/t MMAJunkie).
“Personally, f*ck Leon,” Brady said. “F*ck him and his whole team, and that’s how I feel about the whole situation. I went up to him and was like, ‘Yo man, you’re a great champion.’ He just kind of brushed me off. Obviously, he’s upset, but even his whole team, I tried to say, what’s up. They were corny as sh*t, too, so it was just whack. My coaches didn’t even go over there. They were like, ‘F*ck that, we’re not saying sh*t to these dudes.’”
Brady also said he wishes he would’ve been more abrasive with his antics towards Edwards given what transpired after the fight. He described the former UFC Welterweight Champion as being “salty” after his loss. It’s a frustrating time for “Rocky,” who went from being on top of the 170-pound weight class to being outmatched twice in front of a favorable crowd.
Time will tell if Edwards can get back to the top of the heap at welterweight. As for Brady, his stock has never been higher. He went from being the No. 5-ranked UFC welterweight, to defeating the No. 1-ranked contender. Suddenly, a title opportunity possibly looms for Brady.
