Sean
Brady believes he is a completely different fighter from
Kamaru
Usman.
Brady is scheduled to fight Joaquin
Buckley at
UFC 328 on May 9 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Buckley is coming off a lopsided unanimous decision loss against
Usman from last year. Putting his ego aside, Buckley recently
trained with Usman at
Kill Cliff FC in Florida for his upcoming bout.

However, Brady doesn’t think training with Usman will help. While
both are known for their wrestling, Brady believes he is a
completely different fighter from Usman. While Brady has six
submission wins in his career, he notes that Usman only has one.
Brady believes his submission threat is what really sets him apart
from Usman. Brady also hinted that he is not impressed with Buckley
travelling during fight camp.
“If I get you on the ground, I can submit anybody in the world,”
Brady told MMA Junkie. “I think that’s the
biggest difference between me and Kamaru. I’m a submission threat,
Kamaru is not a submission threat. I don’t think he has any
submissions on his record, he might have one.
“I don’t think it will help him at all. Me and Kamaru are two
completely different fighters. [Buckley’s] travelling during camp,
doing all these things. We’re two completely different people… He’s
travelling, going to fight store during camp. I’m not doing that,
I’m home, locked in.”
Buckley (21-7) was on a six-fight winning streak before losing to
Usman. Meanwhile, Brady (18-2) is coming off a first-round knockout
loss against Michael
Morales that ended a three-fight winning streak against
top-tier opponents.
