What’s next for Sean Brady and Gilbert Burns after UFC Vegas 97?

Sean Brady

Sean Brady entered the bout as the betting favorite, and he dominated Gilbert Burns with his wrestling and strength. Brady was also the more active striker as he overwhelmed the Brazilian for five rounds to get the decision win.

With the win, Brady cemented himself as a top-10 welterweight and could be a win or two away from a title shot. Brady called out Ian Machado Garry and Colby Covington after the win. However, I don’t think Brady will get either fight, instead, a logical next matchup is a bout against Kamaru Usman. If Usman wants a title shot against Muhammad, a win over Brady would cement that, but if Brady wins, he could get a title shot.
