After a rare week off, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is back at — you guessed it — its APEX venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, later TONIGHT (Sat., Sept. 7, 2024) to stage UFC Vegas 97. Headlining the ESPN+-streamed event is a Welterweight collision between Sean Brady vs. Gilbert Burns. In the co-main event of the evening, former women’s Strawweight champion, Jessica Andrade, will face off against Natalia Silva.
Burns recently went on record to say that he doesn’t have a lot of fights left in the fight game after spending the last 12 years facing the best of the best. “Durinho” came up short in his lone UFC title fight, losing to former champion, Kamaru Usman, at UFC 258 three years ago. It’s been a long and hard road trying get back to the promised land for the Brazilian bomber, going an even 3-3 since. That simply won’t cut it, but if he wants to go out with a bang and make one final run, Burns — the No. 6 ranked fighter in the Welterweight division — has a big opportunity here by taking out the No. 8-seeded combatant, Brady, who has been nothing short of impressive during his young run with the promotion.
Making his UFC debut in 2019, Brady came in undefeated (11-0) and quickly made an impression with a hard-fought win against Court McGee, and then proceeded to win his next four fights before eventually running into the current division kingpin, Belal Muhammad. Indeed, at UFC 280, “Remember The Name,” was undoubtedly the toughest test of Brady’s career to date, and it showed after Muhammad finished him via technical knockout in the second round. Almost one year later, Brady bounced back with a third-round submission win over Kelvin Gastelum (see it again here). Now, he is looking to build on that win by taking out a grizzled veteran who isn’t shy of getting into barn-burners. And that’s likely in this matchup because both men aren’t accustomed to backing down. That said, both are also highly-skilled when it comes to the submission game, so don’t be too surprised to see it turn into a grappling match. Whatever the case, putting these two men inside the Octagon together is a sure-fire recipe for fireworks.
