Sean Brady vs. Belal Muhammad: Everything you need to know about the UFC Welterweight fight

#3 Belal Muhammad’s striking could give Sean Brady problems at UFC Fight Night 186

Belal Muhammad is an aggressive striker

One of UFC fighter Belal Muhammad’s biggest strengths is his striking. However, it also happens to be his biggest weaknesses as well.

Muhammad is an outstanding offensive striker with decent KO power. However, when it comes to his striking defense, Muhammad’s arsenal has more holes than Swiss cheese.

Be that as it may, our aim here is to discuss Muhammad’s striking in his upcoming at UFC Fight Night 186 matchup against Sean Brady.

Muhammad most definitely has the tools to cut off the Octagon and force Brady into a firefight with him. Whether or not Brady takes the bait is anyone’s guess, but based on both UFC fighters’ past performances, it would be safe to say that neither Muhammad nor Brady are going to be afraid of slugging it out at close range.

Fans can expect Brady to engage in a greater amount of counterstriking rather than starting a striking exchange first. This is where Muhammad can impose his will on Brady.

Muhammad’s overly aggressive fighting style, his striking in particular, put him at risk of being repeatedly countered and perhaps even knocked out like his fight with Vicente Luque a few years ago.

Regardless, Brady has never faced a top-tier fighter who is an aggressive striker like Muhammad. The latter’s striking has the potential to seriously disrupt Brady’s rhythm and put him at the risk of being outscored or even caught with one of his deadly punches in a striking exchange at close range.

Every ranked guy is like Leon Edwards they don’t wanna fight
