Sean Brady continued his climb up the welterweight rankings with a dominant performance against Gilbert Burns in the UFC Vegas 97 headliner on Saturday night.

Brady quickly established himself as the faster fighter on his feet, out-landing Burns with a variety of combinations and mixing in his grappling to keep the one-time title challenger under 10 significant strikes throughout the opening round. However, Burns got things off to a hot start in the second, landing a nasty knee up the middle that wobbled Brady. That prompted Brady to clinch up and take a few moments against the fence to shake off the cobwebs.

Burns’ offense saw a significant uptick in the second with him becoming just the second fighter to ever take Brady down to the mat inside the Octagon, though he wasn’t able to accomplish much with the takedown and likely ended the second stanza down 2-0.

Brady continued to dominate things on the feet despite Burns’ best efforts to bring pressure and put the rising contender on his backfoot. Brady ended the third round with a big right hand followed by a successful takedown, picking up Burns and sending him crashing back down to the canvas.

In the opening 30 seconds of the fourth, we saw dueling low blows as both Brady and Burns hit their opponent below the belt by accident. Fortunately, both fighters were able to recover quickly, getting us right back to the action.

Brady largely dominated the last two rounds minus the final minute of the fourth with Burns managed to score some control time, but not much else. Burns was fishing for the Hail Mary shot in the fifth, but Brady nullified that by taking him down with two minutes to go and riding out an all-but-guaranteed win on the scorecards.

Official Result: Sean Brady def. Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 49-46)

‘I’m Team Belal Muhammad’ – Gilbert Burns Extends Support For UFC Welterweight Champ Against Shavkat Rakhmonov

For the first time in his pro MMA career, Gilbert Burns has two consecutive losses on his record. He lost a decision to Belal Muhammad after getting injured early in the fight, followed by a late TKO loss to Jack Della Maddalena. Despite the losses, fans aren’t overlooking Burns as he takes on Sean Brady […]

Despite the losses, fans aren’t overlooking Burns as he takes on Sean Brady this weekend. Brady’s last loss came against Muhammad as well, but he bounced back by submitting Kelvin Gastelum in December 2023.

Burns is hopeful about beginning another title run at welterweight by beating Brady, and he wants Muhammad to be the champion until he reaches the belt again…

Gilbert Burns Praises Belal Muhammad’s Approach As Champion While Hoping To Get His Rematch

Burns talked about his ambition to get another chance at becoming the UFC welterweight kingpin in an interview with MMA Junkie recently. He naturally needs to get past Brady first and hopes that Muhammad beats Shavkat Rakhmonov to remain champion.

“Durinho” not only wants to get his rematch but also likes how Muhammad has carried himself since becoming champ. For instance, “Remember the Name” aims to move up a weight class only after fighting all top contenders at welterweight.

Burns acknowledged that he’s trained with Rakhmonov quite a few times when they share camps. However, he’ll still be backing Muhammad to win as it’s the most ideal scenario for his rematch.

“I want Belal to stay champion when I fight for the title, you know, that’s my goal and then get the rematch for the title. That would be great so I’m team Belal Muhammad, you know, I want this guy to keep winning and then whenever I’m there, that’s the guy that I’m facing.”

The former title challenger also talked about how things have changed in the UFC welterweight division after Kamaru Usman’s dominant reign ended. He praised Muhammad for wanting to fight Rakhmonov over Usman as the former kingpin has now lost three UFC fights in a row.

“I like that Belal is being a good champion, you know, he said he wants to fight, face the number one contender guys, before thinking on moving up or moving, you know, fighting another champion. I like that, that’s my, that was my go-to you know. Go over there, beat the number one fighters, keep beating these guys and especially he, you know, he need to make that fan base, you know. He needs to make the fans excited. He’s doing a great job right now the way he talks and I think he’s gonna be a great champion.

Because he’s been saying the right things and wants to give his division’s contenders opportunities, Burns totally supports Muhammad to remain the champ for at least a year or two. Unsurprisingly, he would want to fight Muhammad again at his best and grab a UFC belt for the first time in his career.

Belal Muhammad came into UFC 304 as the underdog but he certainly didn’t look like it in the early hours of the morning in Manchester.

The welterweight title challenger largely dominated Leon Edwards to become the champion via a unanimous decision verdict.

After Edwards had already beaten top grapplers in Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington, many assumed that he would have no problem thwarting the heavy wrestling approach of Muhammad, but this wasn’t the case.

Having been inside the Octagon with him for 25 minutes, a former opponent of the current champion saw this performance coming from him and successfully predicted it ahead of time.

During a recent episode of the Believe You Me Podcast, Michael Bisping was joined by former welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns.

Burns is looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats next time out when he faces Sean Brady, both of whom whom were beaten by Muhammad during his undefeated run to the title.

“Durinho” revealed during the interview that he wasn’t surprised by what went down in Manchester and had in fact, told Bisping ahead of time.

After going through his messages, the former middleweight champion was able to find the message which correctly called that “Remember The Name” would get his hand raised on July 27 and how he would do it.

Bisping read the message aloud having asked Burns for his prediction, only to then forget to mention it during the live broadcast.

“Tough fight but I believe Belal’s going to make it a dog fight. I think that’s the only way for him to win and I believe he will do that. Randy Couture style dog fight. Inside dirty boxing mixed up with the wrestling.”
