The welterweight division has found a new top contender. For 25 minutes, Sean Brady dominated former title challenger Gilbert Burns in their main event bout at UFC Fight Night 242, nearly achieving 50-45 scorecards across the board. This win now puts the Philadelphia native that much closer to a possible gold-glove rematch versus the only man to ever beat him, welterweight champion Belal Muhammad.
Other highlights on the card included Natália Silva walking away with a superb unanimous decision victory over Jéssica Andrade, Steve Garcia’s violent one round knockout over Kyle Nelson, and Cody Durden taking out Matt Schnell with an anaconda choke in the second round.
