Brady recently made some shocking claims about his UFC 322
fight against Michael
Morales.
Brady took on fellow welterweight contender Morales at UFC 322 this
past November at Madison Square Garden in New York. Morales looked
nearly flawless while knocking Brady out in the first round. While
Brady blames only himself, he claims he wasn’t fully focused on his
fight against Morales.
Brady recently revealed that he was told that the fight was off a
couple of days before it happened. While Brady didn’t divulge many
details, he says it was something to do with the medicals.
According to Brady, the matchup was tentative for a couple of days
and was only confirmed just hours before he left for the arena.
“I won’t say too many details, something with the medicals to where
we found out on Thursday that the fight might not happen,” Brady recently told MMA Fighting. “So it was a
lot up in the air for the next two days if this fight was even
going to happen, and ultimately, Saturday night, right before I
left for the fight, is when I found out I was still fighting. It
was hard to stay fully locked in. But that was my fault… We didn’t
know literally a couple of hours before we left for the arena if I
was still fighting or not.”
Brady’s (18-2) loss against Morales ended a three-fight winning
streak and removed him from the title picture for the time being.
Brady is now scheduled to fight Joaquin
Buckley (21-7) at
UFC 328 on May 9 at Prudential Center in Newark, New
Jersey.
