At UFC London, Sean Brady pulled off perhaps the most significant victory of his career by submitting former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards with a mounted guillotine in the fourth round, leaving commentator Joe Rogan absolutely stunned.
“He’s going for the guillotine. Look at this, one-arm guillotine. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness! He tapped, he tapped wow! Sean f*cking Brady… Holy sh*t! What a performance… Shut out against one of the best of all time in the division, former champion, beats his [Edwards] a*s and submits him,” exclaimed Rogan as the dramatic finish unfolded.
Stepping in as a replacement for Jack Della Maddalena, the 32-year-old American traveled to London and turned the welterweight division upside down with his dominant performance.
The contest began as a striking battle, but Brady quickly imposed his will through superior grappling exchanges starting in the second round. He maintained relentless top pressure on Edwards and consistently stayed ahead in their exchanges, landing effective strikes while constantly threatening with submission attempts.
When the fourth round commenced, Brady wasted no time securing another takedown, methodically working his way to mount position before locking in the fight-ending choke that forced Edwards to tap immediately.
The victory represents a massive breakthrough for Brady, who currently sits at No.5 in the divisional rankings. This performance against a former champion will undoubtedly skyrocket his standing in the welterweight division and put him squarely in the title conversation.
For Edwards, this defeat marks a devastating setback, especially in front of his home crowd. The British star is now experiencing consecutive losses for the first time in his professional career, and this submission loss is the first of its kind in his 28 professional fights.
In other action from the UFC London card, Carlos Ulberg secured a unanimous decision victory over Jan Blachowicz in the co-main event, while Kevin Holland snapped a two-fight losing streak by defeating Gunnar Nelson via unanimous decision.
Leon, ne Kamaru maçında ne de Belal maçında bu kadar bully’lenmemişti. Kamaru karşısında raundları kaybetmiş ama geri dönmeyi başarmıştı; Belal maçında ise en azından bir ya da iki raundu kazanmıştı. Sean Brady ise ikinci raunddan sonra Leon’un resmen mentalini yok etti. pic.twitter.com/EuZ1iQBP6R
