Belal Muhammad vs Sean Brady | FULL FIGHT | UFC 304

170 lb Shawn Brady 15 and0 he got his septum fixed nose cauterized after his last fight ready to go [Applause] tonight Bray in Black Muhammed in green here we go and you see the difference already in muhammd against LC he was sced along the outside of the a that was right forward in to sha [Applause] Brady my heart rate is very high switching up the footwork early like I feel my your heart rate shouldn't go high like you run a th000 miles it's it's higher now than when I ran nine miles the other day well and if you are wondering why these are two of Paul felder's former training Partners Sean Brady and Philly and of course bow Muhammad in the Rufus sport days in Milwaukee Wisconsin train you know what I mean like I I consider both very good friends no yeah we said that in the break when these guys were walking Paul F [Applause] there sry champ as Brady's looking pretty sharp on his feet right now yeah taking his time Bal trying to really pressure him right now tr's got a good left hook I would keep an eye on that and Bal just a volume Striker man he he can overwhelm you with just non-stop combination well usually does his best work is in the wrestling though when Bal can mix everything together is what is what makes him special so if he is unwilling to try and take Shawn Brady down it would seem to make for a much tougher fight confidence never an issue for Balan muhamad who eats a right hand there but he certainly has had it heightened by the last five weeks spent in Dubai and here in Abu Dhabi alongside M mono medov and islash hey B ate both of those shots he took that left H and the right hand oh listen and hit like that he's going to go to sleep good movement so far from Sean Brady excuse me for those of you home I want to make sure you guys know see that I have a tendency to do that I know these guys so well call by the first names I forget everybody at home doesn't know that muhamed a little bit out of range early five of 29 unofficially on his attempts getting closer got to watch that Bal has a very tricky left high kick doesn't switch it he just whips it up after his punch combinations interesting that Shawn hasn't shot yet there it is one a level change from Brady I was wondering who would be the first to give that takedown attempt great defense by Bal muhammd certainly an encouraging sign for team Muhammad Lewis Taylor his right-hand man chaing the corner as usual [Applause] nice left hook there by Brady Brady really flirting with both stances here tonight as we [Music] [Applause] expected Brady realizing some success with the Striking early muhamed lands over the top and a counter from Shan Brady unofficially 0 for two on his takedown attempts thus far and Sean even though he's such a strong Grappler he does like to Counter Strike that is where he does his best work he sits back but right now B starting to find his rhythm just a bit here getting some shots through that was a great combination there by Bal mohammd ended it with a left upper cut uppercut up the middle Brady's got to find a way to try to be an advancing party good stick there there by Muhammad first four minutes he's been on his heels oh man Bow's got a chin doesn't he that right hand from Brady maybe the most significant strike of the fight thus far now muhamad lands a right Hey listen both these guys such Grapplers but if Bal can keep it on the feet I mean this could end up being a back and forth striking battle between these two and it would be so fun your heart may be laying on the table by the end of it but for the rest of us we would be having the best time mamed really starting to find the range some swelling under that left eye of Brady big connection Now by Brady and Mohammad to the body back and forth we go malal is putting a lot of pressure on him and I don't know if this is based on the disrespect that Muhammad felt that Brady threw out there by calling him out or maybe a lack of respect for the power of Sha Sha has landed a few big shots on Bal and that left hand he just partially landed caused a cut to open up on muhammd there big pressure here from bah crowd's going nuts so much support for Muhammad here in Abu Dhabi round one in the K and pressure they want him to go forward pressure him because they're banking on round three Shawn Brady being so fatigued that Bal can really take it to him but they said be aware of the right hand of Brady because he landed a couple of them in that round and interesting advice on the other side I believe it was Daniel Gracie suggesting that Muhammad had nothing for Brady certainly a strong final minute of the round for Muhammed might have even given him the roundout yeah but you know Brady Corner said that because he took bal's best shots but the reality is you have got to be careful taking multiple punches that way so yes good round for muhamad but Brady I thought cought a very good round early in the round I don't know if the work that he did at the end of the round was enough to yeah I think it was the back and forth it's tough round I mean Shawn came on really strongly and some really good shots but like we talked about Bal really ended it strong interesting to see the live number flip but a lot of the scorecards you saw out there on social media had Brady 109 round one and you see Brady level changing and Bal just kind of Defending those takedowns even though that's not Landing it's still good to give the option and I would like to see Mohammad do the same thing change of the legs just to give him the idea that the take Downs May Come just missed with that front kick he did not miss with that left hand Brady has been able to land that repeatedly [Applause] tonight bol's got to get back on the pressure he's got to try to Big Dog Brady I feel like that's what he did at the end of the round was just be too much of a man for him and that had Brady on his heels he's got to go forward into him if he wants to keep up with Brady because when they're at range and they're kind of just picking at each other Shawn Brady is a much more technical Striker it's a nice onew from Brady a momento starting to leak which as we know when we talked about him in the fighter meetings he's had issues with his nose for most of his career yeah Google knows cauterization does not sound Pleasant jab is there for Muhammad you're not going to out Caro bow this is what I mean mohamed's got to go forward and keep getting his hands on BR this is good for for for for B pressuring like this and you know what for Shawn being young in his career too this is good for him he hasn't been in one of these kind of standup battles where he's had to dig deep ultimately this is what he needs that third round against Michael Kessa he you know looked at that and that's where he saw okay this is where I'm going to have my opportunities that's a big left hook there from Brady that appeared to get Muhammad's attention a lot of fans felt like we might get a striking fight just given the wrestling and grappling credentials of these guys Muhammad's takedown defense has held up thus far Brady unofficially 0 for four the Muhammad Corner wared Bal to finish his combinations with uppercuts up the middle we talked a lot about that strength and just how strong sea is but it doesn't matter if they're here right and I'm sure Bal knows that I'm sure he's heard these rumors both has Landing significant strikes in that exchange B's pressure looks crazy but Shan Brady is landing a lot of counter strikes in the middle of the advancement of Bal [Music] muhammd one almost a little low good jab on the counter from Brady numbers exceedingly close muhamad has been the far busier man some serious swelling under that right eyee of [Applause] Muhammad and this is close guys very close but you expected this right when this fight was announced we knew that these guys would be very evenly matched especially if it was going to be this kind of fight DC I do feel that if they go tit for tap on the ground Oham moment R is Brady now another L for below it was defening in Abu Dhabi Brady covers up it's another right hand is got it on there below is really putting it on him here's got a the right hand oh massive right now from Muhammed Brady on the ropes less than 20 seconds to go in the round oh that undefeated no more remember the name Bel Muhammed the Sha Brady hype train stops here for now Bal Muhammed with a massive moment a huge right hand for Bal muhamed he went to the uppercuts sorry guys look at this BL just again with the overwhelming combinations really putting it on Shawn there's khabib what a reaction Mike Valley Lewis Taylor khabib Nago medov B muhamad had a lot of doubters he was the underdog coming in here tonight
