Welterweight standout Sean Brady got back into the win column in a big way at UFC Austin on Saturday night.
More than a year removed from the first loss of his mixed martial arts career, Brady delivered a dominant performance against former UFC interim title challenger Kelvin Gastelum. The TUF alumnus had no answer to Brady’s perfectly-timed takedowns which kept Gastelum in a compromising position for a majority of the contest.
In the third round, Brady scored yet another takedown in the opening seconds and quickly moved into mount. Fishing for an arm triangle, Gastelum worked his way out of the hold but gave up his arm in the process which allowed Brady to snatch the limb and lock in an armbar that forced Gastelum to tap out.
Official Result: Sean Brady def. Kelvin Gastelum via submission (armbar) at 1:43 of Round 3.

UFC welterweight, Kelvin Gastelum expects to be fighting for the title in the very near future.
It has been a rough few years for former interim title challenger, Gastelum, going 2-5 since his legendary fight against Israel Adesanya in April of 2019. However, after a hard-fought win over Chris Curtis at UFC 287 and subsequently dropping back down to 170lbs, the 31-year-old has a huge opportunity at hand.
Gastelum will now face No.6 ranked Shavkat Rakhmonov, and a win could catapult him into the title picture. However, Rahkmonov is a serious obstacle to overcome and his 17-0, all stoppages, record should tell you all you need to know. The two will do battle on September 16 on a Fight Night card.
Talking to The Schmo, Gastelum discussed his upcoming matchup and is perfectly aware of the task ahead, even drawing comparisons to a former opponent.
“I’m actually comparing him to Adesanya,” Gastelum said. “When I fought Adesanya, he was another up-and-coming guy that was undefeated, rising star, kind of similar situation that I’m in now. I’m fighting Rakhmonov, he’s a rising contender, undefeated prospect. Man, this is gonna be a fun fight, a fun challenge for me.” (H/T MMA Mania)
With such a tough battle, will also come great reward and Gastelum knows how much it could do for making his dream of becoming world champion possible.
“I can very well be fighting for the world title next year, that’s the goal,” Gastelum continued. “I win this fight, I feel like I’m fighting the No. 1 contender at Welterweight. I don’t think there’s a clear contender other than Colby [Covington] but Colby’s coming off a win or a loss? I don’t remember. I just don’t see any clear contenders other than Shavkat and Shavkat now has a fight with me.”
If Gastelum is successful, it is very possible that he would only need one more big win to secure himself a title shot.

“I’m so proud of you,” Adesanya told Gastelum. “You know why? Discipline. Maturity. Back in the day, I was a bit talented and I worked hard, bro… But the fact that now you know, and you’re like ‘Yeah, let’s get it.’ Do your fucking thing.” (H/T MMANews)
“This is what I respect about you, bro,” Gastelum responded. “When you came into the scene, you knew what you wanted to do. You fucking went for it. Now I feel like I’m in that place.”

Former UFC title challenger, Kelvin Gastelum is ready to take on one of the UFC’s brightest prospects in what is a ‘sink or swim’ fight.
Following his win over Chris Curtis at UFC 287, Gastelum announce that he would be moving down a weight class. Listed at only 5’9, Gastelum always seemed more suited for the 170lb limit, but weight issues forced him to move up to middleweight.
At first, Gastelum enjoyed success at 185lbs, defeating the likes of Tim Kennedy, Michael Bisping and Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza, leading up to his eventual interim title fight with Israel Adesanya. Unfortunately for Gastelum, since that epic battle with ‘Stylebender’ he has went 2-5, making him reconsider his weight class.
Never in the habit of taking easy fights, Gastelum has wasted no time in going for one of the best up-and-comers that welterweight has to offer. Undefeated 17-0 (all stoppage wins) Shavkat Rakhmonov has torn his way through welterweight and recently sent a call out to Gastelum via Twitter.
Of course accepting Gastelum sees it as a huge opportunity to get him towards a title, he took to his YouTube channel to explain more.
“My Twitter was going off, All of a sudden, I see a tweet from Shavkat Rakhmonov,” Gastelum said. “I thought it was interesting. I like the callout. I appreciate the callout. I like the fight. I mean, these are the kind of fights that I want in the welterweight division. This puts me right in the mix, swimming with the sharks. It’s either sink of swim.
“This puts me up there with some really fun fights given I win this, which I will,” continued Gastelum. “Officially, I accept the challenge… Not only that, I’ll give you a date. Dana (White) was talking about doing a huge Mexican Independence Day event in Las Vegas, which happens to be September 16… Me, being an outstanding Mexican-American, I would gladly represent where my people have come from… Let’s get it on. I accept Shavkat.” (H/T MMA News)
