Sean Brady thinks Colby Covington wouldn’t even be worth his time.
Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) was asked about Brady’s dominant submission win over Leon Edwards less than two weeks ago in the UFC Fight Night 255 headliner and called him a good matchup. Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) was also called out by Kamaru Usman (20-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC), but the now No. 1-ranked UFC welterweight dismissed both fighters.
“I was trying to get the Usman fight for months,” Brady said on his “The BradyBagz Show.” “DM’d him, hit him up, now he’s like, ‘Me and Brady should fight for the No. 1 contender.’ Oh, should we? I just beat the guy who beat you twice! Either I’m fighting for the belt next, I could fight the winner or loser, or really me vs. Shavkat for No. 1 contender.”
As for Covington calling him an easy matchup, Brady went off on the former interim champion, who’s currently on a two-fight losing skid.
“Same thing with him (Covington): I was asking for that fight for so long. The UFC pretty much told me, ‘This guy sucks,’” Brady said. “The best thing, I watched him, my brother sent me this clip where he said, ‘Sean Brady f*cking sucks. I never watched one of his fights. Blah blah blah. I remember watching him get beat up by Belal.’ Brother, you just said you never watched one of my fights, but then you watched me get beat up by Belal, so what are you talking about?
“He’s this high-level wrestler. I’m like, ‘Bro, Leon took you down multiple times, beat the sh*t out of you. Do you see what I just did to Leon? What would I do to you? I would f*cking kill him. He’s not even getting anyone in the top 15. Dude, he might not even have a f*cking job. When is the last time that dude won a fight? He f*cking sucks. Colby, you’re a p*ssy. How do you get punched on by (Jorge) Masvidal in public and go sue him? You’re not a pro fighter. You’re a p*ssy.”
