Sean Brady hopes finish over Christian Aguilera proves he’s serious welterweight contender

Sean Brady is looking to notch his first UFC finish so he can start separating himself from the pack at 170 pounds.

[autotag]Sean Brady[/autotag] is looking to notch his first UFC finish so he can start separating himself from the pack at 170 pounds.

Brady (12-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) faces [autotag]Christian Aguilera[/autotag] at UFC on ESPN+ 34 on Aug. 29, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

The former CFFC welterweight champion is off to a good start in his UFC career, having notched wins over veteran Court McGee and prospect Ismail Naurdiev.

While Brady admits he was hoping to draw a bigger name for this fight, that doesn’t mean he’s taking recently-signed Aguilera lightly.

“Just because my name’s not the biggest,” Brady told MMA Junkie. “But I did have two UFC fights already, and I felt like I just wanted a name – someone else’s name to get my name bigger. But Christian is a super-tough guy, nothing against him. He had a great first UFC fight. He’s got a good record overall, he’s a tough guy, he’s a brown belt in jiu-jitsu, he’s got knockouts on his record, so I’m taking him as serious as if I was fighting No. 5 in the world.

“I just wanted a bigger name, just to get my name bigger. But it is what it is, I’ll fight him, I’ll beat him and hopefully I’ll get a bigger name. But if not, I’ll just keep winning and eventually they’re going to have to give me a bigger name.”

Training out of Renzo Gracie Philly, undefeated Brady has shown off a well-rounded game in his first two fights, using his striking to beat McGee and his wrestling to control Naurdiev.

He will look to use his ever-improving grappling skills in his fight with Aguilera. But this time Brady is eager to get the finish. Brady almost finished McGee when he dropped him in Round 1, and almost secured the submission against Naurdiev before the clock ran out. It hasn’t been for a lack of trying, but Brady thinks a finish is what will help him secure the bigger fights he’s chasing.

“He’s a really good striker, he’s got really good boxing, but I just feel like I’m a little more versatile than him,” said Brady. “Obviously I’m gonna take him down. That’s my plan, is to take him down, but I’m gonna mix it up on the feet, too. I just need to get a finish. I need to finish him on the feet or I need to finish him on the ground. I need to prove to the UFC and show everybody else that I can finish fights and I have that ability to do that, because I do.”

He continued, “I’ve been working a lot of heavy ground and pound, submission – I think I can finish the fight anywhere. I hit hard, I’ve got good submissions, I’ve got good ground and pound, so a finish is a finish. I just want to finish the fight, whether it’s in the first 10 seconds or the last 10 seconds of the fight, I just know I need to finish the fight, impress Sean Shelby, impress Dana White, impress those guys and let them know that I’m a serious contender at welterweight.”

Brady has spent this training camp under the guidance of former UFC and Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, who has served as a perfect training partner for him.

“Eddie and me are from the same city and we never really got to train much together before this time,” Brady said. “But I knew he was trying to get some training in, and with all this COVID stuff going on, all the gyms were shut down so he wasn’t getting anything in. So I reached out to him and we’ve been training ever since.

“We started training a couple of months ago and just turned out that I was fighting Christian Aguilera. They kind of have the same body style so it was just perfect timing for me to get training with him. We’re sparring, we’re wrestling, we’re doing everything together, so it’s been perfect working with Eddie. He’s a veteran, he’s a world champion and he’s giving me all kinds of little tips and just helping me out with a lot of stuff, so it’s been really good.”

Christian Aguilera

Division: Welterweight
Result: Christian Aguilera def. Anthony Ivy via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 0:59
Record: 14-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC
Grade: A

You can’t really ask for a better, cleaner debut performance than the one we saw from welterweight newcomer [autotag]Christian Aguilera[/autotag], who exploded into the UFC’s 170-pound division with a hugely impressive display.

Matched against fellow debutant [autotag]Anthony Ivy[/autotag], Aguilera started the fight looking calm and composed as he threw out some range-finding punches to set his distance, while Ivy looked to establish his kicks from distance.

Aguilera took a couple of leg kicks but wasn’t unduly troubled, as he maintained his footing and worked out his timing for his counters. When they came, they were swift, powerful, and decisive as he scored a quickfire finish.

Aguilera answered a leg kick with a right-left combination as he rocked Ivy back against the fence. That was the opening Aguilera was waiting for, and he pounced on his opportunity. A solid right uppercut, then a trio of powerful right hands, finished the job as he clinically claimed an impressive debut win.

The temperament looked rock-solid, his composure was on point, and his killer instinct as soon as he saw his opening was deadly. All in all, it was a near-flawless performance from Aguilera, who claimed the 11th knockout win of his career, with 10 of them coming inside the first round, and six inside one minute.

Under the UFC Promotional Guidelines Compliance program’s payout tiers, which appropriate the money generated by Reebok’s multi-year sponsorship with the UFC, fighters are paid based on their total number of UFC bouts, as well as Zuffa-era WEC fights (January 2007 and later) and Zuffa-era Strikeforce bouts (April 2011 and later). Fighters with 1-3 bouts receive $3,500 per appearance; 4-5 bouts get $4,000; 6-10 bouts get $5,000; 11-15 bouts earn $10,000; 16-20 bouts pocket $15,000; and 21 bouts and more get $20,000. Additionally, champions earn $40,000 while title challengers get $30,000.

In addition to experience-based pay, UFC fighters will receive in perpetuity royalty payments amounting to 20-30 percent of any UFC merchandise sold that bears their likeness, according to officials.
