"I've got bigger things going on than Ian Machado Garry" - Sean Brady explains why a fight against 'The Future' doesn't interest him

Sean Brady made his return to the octagon last weekend as he defeated Leon Edwards via fourth-round submission at UFC Fight Night 255. The No.5-ranked welterweight, who figures to move up in the rankings when they update, recently revealed he has no interest in a matchup against Ian Machado Garry.

Brady had previously called out 'The Future' following his UFC Fight Night 242 victory over Gilbert Burns. Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, he shared why the matchup no longer is on his radar, stating:

"Now, it's like no. No. I went out there, I took this - I heard he was bi**hing that he didn't get the fight with Belal [Muhammad]. It's like, bro, you lost your fight, what are you talking about? You came in second place. You don't get to get rewarded for that. It made the most sense for it to be Jack [Della Maddalena]."

Brady continued:

"He's No.7 at this point and lost his last fight. I won my last three and just beat a former champion, who was a really good champion. So, yeah, I got bigger things going on than Ian Machado Garry."

Sean Brady reveals what opponent he wants next

Sean Brady appears to be closing in on a welterweight title opportunity. He recently expressed what he wants next following his victory over Leon Edwards. Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, the No.5-ranked welterweight stated that he believes he has better recent wins than Shavkat Rakhmonov before adding:

"I'm also not rushing [fighting for a belt] either. If I have to fight again before that, that's fine, but it just has to make sense... I would be interested in the loser of the title fight, I would be interested in the winner of the title fight, or I'd be interested in Shavkat."
