UFC welterweight contender Sean Brady has discussed his future in what is becoming the most stacked division in the promotion.

For the longest time now, Sean Brady has been a valuable member of the welterweight division. While he’s had a few setbacks along the way, he has largely been a pretty consistent force towards the top of the pile at 170 pounds.

However, following his recent TKO loss to Michael Morales, Brady has been left without a direction as others around him continue to thrive. Of course, he’s still an exceptionally talented fighter, but he needs to get himself back in the win column and fast if he wants to be taken seriously in the title conversation.

In a recent video, Brady spoke openly about the current state of the division and his place in it.

Brady looks at the state of the welterweight division

“Ian Garry is going to fight Islam (Makhachev) next – that’s just what I think,” Brady said on his “BradyBagz Show.” “Maybe Morales and JDM (Della Maddalena), then you got Belal (Muhammad), I don’t know what they’re doing with Belal. There’s Kamaru (Usman) right there, I’d like to fight Kamaru. I would like to fight Belal. I just don’t know what they’re waiting for. I think I’ll have something in April so that’s what we’re timing up right now.

“It’s like no fights are booked right now and then the whole division is going to be booked. They’ve still got Colby (Covington) in the f*cking rankings. That sh*t is crazy, bro. Now he was talking about fighting at 185. Now he’s saying he wants to fight Paddy Pimblett at the White House card. … I don’t know what’s going to happen with the division. It’s kind of on standstill right now, and then Islam is probably not fighting until after Ramadan.”

“I don’t think I need to fight up, but I think it would nice to fight up,” Brady said. “I took the risk against Morales, which i didn’t have to take, and obviously it didn’t work out for me. I’m in front of Kamaru. That’s a fight that I want. I should get that fight. I’m No. 6, Belal is 5. We’re right next to each other.”
