Welterweights Sean Brady and Gabriel Bonfim are set to clash in a five-round main event headed for the Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Nov. 7.
The fight was announced during the UFC 330 broadcast on Saturday.
A constant presence in the welterweight top 10, Brady has anxiously been awaiting his next assignment after he pulled off an impressive and lopsided win over Joaquin Buckley in his last outing in May. Overall, Brady boasts a 19-2 record including wins over Leon Edwards, Gilbert Burns and Kelvin Gastelum.
As for Bonfim, the 28-year-old Brazilian is seeking his sixth win in a row overall while also attempting to climb even further up the rankings. Most recently, Bonfim put on a nearly flawless performance taking out former UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad in his first main event.
Now Bonfim takes on Brady with the winner undoubtedly taking another step towards title contention in the always competitive 170-pound division.
With Brady vs. Bonfim booked as the main event, expected more fights to be announced in the coming weeks.
I hope Bongfeet starches that beady eyed blanket
I don’t know why, but I’ve never like beady eyed brady
Should be good fight.. Brady looks like world beater in one fight and look like can in the next .. the Brazilian will probably win
I’m not bothered by this cancellation
A Brady/Amasov matchup would be very interesting
TEA TEE TTT
Well, we’re gonna find out if Walker’s weak chin really was from cutting weight like he said.
Acosta is strong and durable, definitely dont see this one going the distance.
Honestly hope Walker makes a run at HW. The division needs all the help it can get and at least hes exciting.
Walker’s chin might be great at HW and he’s extremely hard to sub unless you’re Werdum.
I posted before I read yours. LFG!
Yep and he still has a decent reach on his opponents and i think he will habe the speed advantage over many of them as well.
