[autotag]Sean Brady[/autotag] doesn’t appreciate how [autotag]Leon Edwards[/autotag] handled losing to him at UFC Fight Night 255.
Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) dominated and submitted former UFC welterweight champion Edwards (22-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in Saturday’s main event at The O2 in London. Brady is not one to engage in trash talk but explained how Edwards started with the disrespect.
“We did a faceoff at The O2, and it literally took five seconds, but when we did it, we walked up to each other,” Brady said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.” “And obviously, bro, I’m not 6 foot, I’m not 6-2. I’m 5-9, like I’ve never been tall.
“When he walked up to me, he was asking me about my height. He was like, ‘What are you, 5-8, 5-9?’ Like he was just being a d*ckhead. … From there on, I was like, I’m not touching this dude’s hand, and if he tries some stupid sh*t at the weigh-ins, I’m going to give it right back to this motherf*cker.”
The pair didn’t touch gloves in the octagon prior to their fight. Brady tried to console Edwards after beating him, but the former champion wasn’t having any of it.
“Personally, f*ck Leon,” Brady said. “F*ck him and his whole team, and that’s how I feel about the whole situation. I went up to him and was like, ‘Yo man, you’re a great champion.’ He just kind of brushed me off. Obviously, he’s upset, but even his whole team, I tried to say, what’s up. They were corny as sh*t, too, so it was just whack. My coaches didn’t even go over there. They were like, ‘F*ck that, we’re not saying sh*t to these dudes.’
“Even before they raised my hand, I tried to touch him behind Jason Herzog – he’s just salty. Then seeing all this sh*t he was saying about me throughout the week. I wish I was even f*cking meaner to this dude. That’s why I posted this sh*t about the ‘Headshot, dead,’ and them not having guns in London because now I’m going to make fun of you. I’m going to poke at you because you’re a f*cking asshole.”
