"When you look at styles and the way that fights work, myself and Colby Covington, what did everyone say? 'Oh, they're both wrestlers. Oh, they're both economical fighters', and you saw what that turned out to be. We ain't even try to grapple. Let's bang it out. This has the potential to be one of those fights. I like Sean Brady, I like how he approaches the game."
