Sean revealed he got death threats from fans on his wife’s Instagram account.

Speaking on the show Brady said, “Someone messaged her and said that if I won the fight against Belal that they would kill me and bury me in the desert, it was pretty bad.” 

Brady said his wife Kristen Green was right there in the front row sitting with Joe Pyfer at the event when she got the message and rushed through security and to him to show the messages. 

Sean seemed more upset that they involved his wife and said, “I don’t let it get to me, I try not to lean into that s*** anymore. But my wife, she’s a registered nurse… people are threatening her, calling her this, calling her that. Message me. Don’t message my wife, especially if you’re a man. … because my wife could probably beat you up.”

Sean Brady got defeated by Belal Muhammad in the second round of the fight via a knockout. This was his first loss in his MMA career coming into this fight with a 15-match winning record. Losing his unbeaten streak doesn’t mean his career has taken a setback, he is still very young and will come back strong to the Octagon.
