Sean Brady dominates Gilbert Burns in hard-Hitting headliner - UFC Vegas 97 Highlights

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)

Natalia Silva takes huge scalp in decision win over Jessica Andrade - UFC Vegas 97 Highlights

Brazilian flyweight standout, Natalia Silva has landed the most high-profile win of his naive Octagon tenure to date in tonight’s UFC Vegas 97 co-headliner, landing a unanimous decision shutout over former undisputed strawweight champion, Jessica Andrade.

Silva, who entered tonight’s flyweight affair as the number eighth ranked divisional contender, racked up her stunning twelfth straight win in her decision win tonight — and managed to scoop her sixth straight win inside the Octagon.

Prior tonight’s unanimous (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) win over Andrade at the Apex facility, Silva had previously turned in notable wins over the likes of Jasmine Jasudavicius, Victoria Leonardo, Andrea Lee, and fellow Brazilian contender, Viviane Araujo.

A former Jungle Fight flyweight champion to boot, renowned submission threat, Silva is surely now angling herself toward the flyweight title picture — which will hopefully become somewhat clearer next week as Alexa Grasso co-headlines Noche UFC in a trilogy fight with Valentina Shevchenko.
