Sean Brady posted an emotional message on Instagram reacting to his loss against Belal Muhammad at UFC 280.
Brady struggled to get going before Muhammad ultimately took over and won by a second-round TKO. After losing to 'Remember the Name,' the welterweight grappler took to Instagram to express his feelings about the UFC 280 loss:
“Last night obviously did not go as planned I want to thank every single person who reached out to me and continues to support me. I truly always thought I would stay undefeated but I’m some ways a feel a relief maybe this is what I need to become the absolute best me... I know I will come back better than ever. I have to make some changes and get out of my comfort zone. If you have mean things to say about me say them to me the people who continue mocking to my wife you will one day get what you deserve #teambrady”
One man's loss is another man's treasure in MMA. Muhammad earned the respect of all his doubters by giving Brady his first loss. 'Remember the Name' has now won eight straight fights, with one no contest, as he continues to scratch and claw his way to a title shot.

Sean Brady is a beloved member of the MMA community and, more importantly, the Philadelphia fighting community. Losing at UFC 280 has halted his rise to the top, but he will be back. Brady's Instagram post was filled with supportive comments from his fans. Many famous fighters and MMA personnel like Jon Anik, Frankie Edgar, and Neiman Gracie sent him encouraging messages.
“Just the beginning, brother. We all believe!”
“you’re the man brother you’ll be back”
“Head up bro. Big things ahead!”
