Sean Brady sheds light on his dominant victory over Leon Edwards at UFC London

Brady dominated Edwards in all aspects of fighting and submitted the former champion in round 4. Speaking to ESPN MMA after his win, Brady said:

"To be honest, it was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be... I was a little surprised at how confused he seemed to be on the ground. Once I had him there, I think that just says how good I am on the ground but yeah, it literally went exactly to gameplan the last 4 to 5 weeks. I couldn't have scripted it better to be honest with you."
