Sean Brady admitted being in a very bad headspace ahead of his fight against Belal Muhammad at UFC 280 and it was very tough for him mentally to get prepared for his fight. Recently, Sean Brady appeared on The MMA Hour podcast and revealed all the things he went through during his preparation ahead of UFC 280. 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.

In the same episode of The MMA Hour, Sean Brady also disclosed his feelings after losing his streak and his plan going forward. Sean believes his streak had become a mental burden on him and felt free after losing it.
Speaking on the show he said, “In my mind, I thought life was going to end if I lose a fight, so I wasn’t even fighting to win I was just fighting not lose my record…its over and I don’t have to worry about it anymore, soy mind has opened up so much and I feel like this sense of relief …if I could go back and win the fight, I would not have because all the lessons I have learnt about myself and all these little things I need to change going forward would never have happened, I would had continued to do the same things”
Sean has reflected on his losing his streak and said his streak had taken control over his life, he thinks getting rid of it has given him a chance to restart his life and explore other things going forward.
Brady also revealed he would take some time off training and go on vacation to charge himself mentally. He also thinks his loss came as a blessing in disguise and it will help him mature as a fighter. Sean believes he can follow in the footstep of fighters like Islam Makahachev and Georges St-Pierre, who came back even stronger after losing one fight.
