Sean Brady will fight for a second time in 2025 against Michael Morales at UFC 322<\/a> in November. According to the welterweight contender, the deal offered was Morales or nothing.<\/p>\n

In a new episode of the BradyBagz Show, Brady explained why he was fighting such a dangerous opponent in No. 8 ranked welterweight Morales after he already beat the much higher ranked Leon Edwards earlier in the year.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI took this fight because fighters fight,\u201d Brady said. \u201cAnd there\u2019s literally no other options. From what the UFC told me, this is it. This is the only guy I could fight, or else I wasn\u2019t fighting til next year. And I\u2019ve been trying to fight, and no matter what, we\u2019re gonna have to fight all these guys regardless.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael Morales is a great fighter, he\u2019s 18-0,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe\u2019s gonna be around for a long time. He\u2019s young. So whether I fight him now or I fight him fight him later, I\u2019m gonna have to get to him eventually. So f\u2014k it. I\u2019ll get him out of the way now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The welterweight division has been moving at a glacial pace<\/a> for a while with the last generation of 170 pounders squatting on their rankings and refusing to take fights. The title picture has been stalled out too as everyone waits to see whether former lightweight champ Islam Makhachev can hang a weight class up. Brady\u2019s solution is to all this mess is just keep fighting and keep winning.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing off beating Leon, then I go and I take this risk and fight this young up and comer,\u201d Brady said. \u201cOnce I beat him, I\u2019m undeniable for the title shot after that. I\u2019m just gonna become undeniable until they have to give me the title shot. And, yeah, I\u2019m not waiting around, bro. There\u2019s no perfect match-up in the UFC. Everyone\u2019s tough. Everyone hits hard. We\u2019re the best fighters in the world. So you gotta be ready to fight any of them, and this is what they came with. And I said yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, the UFC doesn\u2019t give a f–k about the rankings,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey make the decisions at the end of the day. I go out there and I beat Michael Morales after just beating Leon. They can\u2019t keep denying me a title shot. You know what I\u2019m saying? They make the fights. The the rankings don\u2019t make the fights. The fans don\u2019t make the fights. The UFC makes the fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I keep going out there, I keep being undeniable. You\u2019re gonna have to give me what I want regardless. And if not, I\u2019m a fighter. I get paid to fight. I love to fight. So I\u2019m just gonna keep fighting until I get there anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n
