Sean Brady made his case for being included within the title dialog within the welterweight division with a unanimous determination victory over Gilbert Burns in the principle occasion of Saturday’s Combat Evening occasion on the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
The Philadelphia native out-worked the previous title challenger all through the combat, incomes scores of 50-45 twice and 49-46 as soon as to register his second consecutive victory. From the outset, the 31-year-old caught to the sport plan and fought intelligently, utilizing his hanging to maintain Burns out of steadiness on the skin and dealing properly within the clinch at any time when issues acquired slightly difficult.
Whereas there wasn’t something overly dramatic or dynamic about Brady’s effort, it was a top quality, workmanlike efficiency for the promising welterweight, whose solely profession setback got here two years in the past in Abu Dhabi towards present champion Belal Muhammad. Accidents and sicknesses have pressured Brady out of key bouts and left him on the sidelines extra usually than he would love, however when he’s within the Octagon, the performances have largely been there.
Following the victory, Brady instructed that his win over Burns ought to put him forward of Ian Machado Garry within the rankings, calling for a bout with the unbeaten Irish standout subsequent. It’s each a sensible call-out for the Marquez MMA consultant and an excellent combat for the division, given how issues stand in the intervening time.
Muhammad received the belt in July and has but to have his first title defence scheduled, with unbeaten contender Shavkat Rakhmonov and former champ Kamaru Usman every lobbying for the chance to share the Octagon with the brand new titleholder. That leaves ex-champ Leon Edwards, perennial contender Colby Covington, and streaking Aussie Jack Della Maddalena as others within the combine together with Machado Garry and Brady, and any mixture of matchups constructed from these choices would actually be a welcomed addition to the UFC slate both later this 12 months or within the early a part of 2025.
As if there wasn’t already a ton of congestion on the high of the flyweight division, Natalia Silva added her identify to the rising listing of contenders within the talent-rich weight class by out-working former strawweight titleholder Jessica Andrade over three rounds.
From the outset, the 27-year-old Brazilian used her motion and various hanging arsenal to maintain her compatriot off steadiness, along with her quickness and number of assaults stifling Andrade’s advances. The longer the combat went on, the extra Silva impressed, as she broke out extra weapons and continued to distance herself from the veteran, in the end leading to a clear sweep of the scorecards.
Now 6-0 within the UFC and driving a 12-fight successful streak, Silva simply took out the sixth-ranked fighter within the division and a former champion, which ought to elevate her into the crowded title image.
With the championship trilogy between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko set for subsequent weekend at Noche UFC and a pivotal divisional battle between Erin Blanchfield and Rose Namajunas on faucet for Edmonton in November, readability on the high of the division is coming, and as soon as the mud settles, don’t be stunned if Silva finds herself matched up with a High 5 opponent with the potential for a title shot hanging within the steadiness subsequent trip.
There are few fighters hotter within the UFC in the intervening time than Steve Garcia, who picked up his fifth consecutive stoppage win on Saturday with a first-round end of Canadian Kyle Nelson.
After slipping alongside the fence within the opening seconds of the combat, Garcia defended properly with Nelson on his again, and as soon as he was capable of twist into his guard halfway via the spherical, he was punished continuous by the Jackson-Wink MMA consultant. Choosing elbows over punches, Garcia unloaded a barrage of pictures that left Nelson overlaying up, prompting referee Mark Smith to step in and halt the motion.

It’s tough to say a fighter has “quietly” received 5 straight, however Garcia’s ascent within the featherweight ranks has largely occurred underneath the radar, although Saturday’s effort ought to change that. He’s placing opponents out with nice ferocity and spectacular frequency, and as soon as he’s again from his well-earned fishing journey, a date with a High 15 opponent may very well be within the offing.
Cody Durden wasn’t scheduled to combat when the week began, however after getting known as into motion reverse Matt Schnell mid-week, the Georgia native headed into the opening Sunday of the NFL season with a submission win underneath his belt.
After the 2 spent the primary spherical buying and selling pictures with each other, Schnell took an ill-advised shot from approach too far out to start the second, and Durden made him pay, locking onto a ninja choke and drawing out a panicked two-hand faucet from his good friend and occasional coaching accomplice. This was a giant bounce-back win for Durden, who was cruising alongside earlier than getting knocked out by Bruno Silva final trip, and the final hurrah for Schnell, who left his gloves within the heart of the Octagon following the competition, signalling that he’s closing the door on his preventing profession.

Saturday’s prelims wrapped with a pair of spectacular outings by unheralded prospects, as Chris Padilla registered his second stoppage win of the 12 months, and Isaac Dulgarian acquired issues transferring in the correct path once more.
Padilla scored an enormous upset earlier within the 12 months in his short-notice debut, and adopted it up Saturday by posting a second-round stoppage win over Rongzhu to shut out the early slate. Late within the second spherical, “Taco” timed a heavy-swinging elbow that linked flush with the left aspect of the returning Chinese language fighter’s face, immediately inflicting his eye to swell shut, prompting referee Kerry Hatley to pause the motion and wave off the combat when it was decided Rongzhu couldn’t proceed.
One combat earlier, Dulgarian acquired himself again within the win column with a second-round submission win over Brendon Marotte.
