“No, completely. [Sean] Brady, I don’t assume he’s coming from an actual wrestling background however he’s clearly a dominant grappler-wrestler within the UFC. Tremendous robust. Yeah, and in addition in case you; Sean Brady beat Craig Jones in a grappling match. So, you’ll be able to’t depend him out. Can’t depend him out. Going after the very best man in grappling and now he’s going after the very best man in wrestling. It’s simply fairly admirable.”

“After I fought [Joaquin] Buckley, clearly all of us have bumps and bruises, and for probably the most half I used to be fairly good, however I by no means obtained provided something. In case you take a look at the division, I’m No. 5, me and [Gabriel] Bonfim are proper subsequent to one another — so I do know there have been some talks about me and him doubtlessly preventing in some unspecified time in the future. And he had simply fought Belal, so it could have been shorter discover for him on the Philly card. So, I suppose there have been no actual good choices, they usually didn’t provide me something.”
“I do know plenty of the followers are disenchanted — and I get messages on a regular basis asking me if I’m going to be on the Philly card, and at this level, they aren’t including any fighters to it.
