Belal Muhammad, Joaquin Buckley, Stephen Thompson, and others react to Leon Edwards getting finished for the first time by Sean Brady at UFC London

MMA pros were impressed with Sean Brady's dominant victory against Leon Edwards at UFC London on March 22. Competing in Edwards' home country, Brady showcased his wrestling skills and ultimately submitted the former champion with a guillotine choke in Round 4.

With this win, the American became the first fighter to submit Edwards in a professional MMA fight. Statistically, Brady outstruck Edwards 221-23 in total strikes and was successful in five of seven takedown attempts. Conversely, Edwards had little to offer and could attempt only 35 strikes in the entire fight.

Social media reactions from fellow fighters and members of MMA media showed their admiration for Brady. While some called for a title shot for the American, others suggested title eliminator bouts against other rising contenders such as Shavkat Rakhmonov and Joaquin Buckley.

Belal Muhammad, who won the welterweight title by defeating Edwards by unanimous decision at UFC 304 last July, took a stinging jab at Edwards' popular catchphrase on X, writing:

"Headshot dead"

Like Brady, Muhammad's wrestling also proved crucial in his win over Edwards. In another post, he suggested that Brady followed the blueprint he set for beating Edwards:

"Sean copied my homework."

Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo called for a title eliminator bout involving Brady and wrote:

"Brady vs. Rakhmonov. Book it! #UFCLondon"
