Sean Brady goes past Khamzat Chimaev

Sean Brady also went past another rising welterweight in Khamzat Chimaev. ‘The Borz,’ who returned to the Octagon after a struggle with COVID-19, took apart Li Jingliang (previously ranked number 11), in the very first round of the fight.

Following the win, Chimaev broke into the top of the welterweight rankings. Now, due to Brady’s surge, he has been pushed back a place.

Talks of a possible fight between Chimaev and Brady have been rife as well. Chimaev himself recently called Brady out on Twitter.

He wrote:

“I want to fight this guy let’s fight bro.”
