Sean Brady is tired of waiting on opponents to step up to face him.
The reserved welterweight launched a tirade directed at two fighters, Belal Muhammad (and Steven Thompson) — who he claims were offered fights and declined them.
Brady remains undefeated in the UFC, including a win over Michael Chiesa in his previous outing that brought his UFC record to 5-0 and 15-0 overall.
“Belal Muhammad — I know the UFC is calling,” he wrote on Twitter. Pick up the phone, and you’ll agree to fight. There is no place to flee. I am coming for you.
“[‘Wonderboy’] UFC said you should fight me. Because you’re scared, you flatly said “no” You can’t stay in the rankings refusing to fight ranked fighters. Step up, let’s go!”
@bullyb170 I know the ufc is calling. pick up the and agree to the fight. There is no place to hide now. You are my guest.

@WonderboyMMA , @ufc told you to fight me. You flat out said, “no,” because you are scared. You can’t refuse to fight the ranked fighter and stay in the ranks. Step up let’s go!

Brady steadily climbed up the welterweight ranks, with four victories including two submission finishes. He made his biggest jump up in competition against Chiesa and earned a unanimous decision victory.
Unfortunately since that fight, Brady has found himself on the outside looking in, goading higher-ranked opponents into accepting a fight.
While “Wonderboy” hasn’t responded, Muhammad didn’t wait long to fire back at Brady. Muhammad pointed out that he is a fighter of higher rank and wished to fight a better-ranked opponent at welterweight.
“Didn’t you get out of our first fight? Clown?” Muhammad wrote. “Who’s running? You have Twitter fingers, but you remained silent while Geoff Neal called. There’s four guys above me without a fight I’m trying to fight.”
Lol didn’t u pull out of our first flight clown who’s running ..: it’s funny u got twitter fingers now but went silent when @handzofsteelmma was calling ..there’s 4 guys above me without a fight I’m tryin to fight https://t.co/j5hOwZmjV4

Muhammad has recently put together one the most remarkable streaks in this division. He went undefeated over his eight previous fights, including statements wins over Demian Maia, Wonderboy and Vicente Luque.
Following the win over Luque in April, Muhammad immediately called for fights against Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev. So far, the matchups haven’t materialized.
As for Brady, he continued to take shots at possible opponents he believes are avoiding him.
” All you do is speak s*** and call people higher than you, so who are you?” Brady replied to Muhammad. You were ranked above everyone you faced. It’s time to repay the favor. If you are as good as you say, I should be easy work. Let’s see how much of a bully you are. I’ll be waiting.
“If Belal Muhammad and ‘Wonderboy’ don’t want to fight, how about Jorge Masvidal and Nick Diaz? Let’s show this division what’s up.”
@bullyb170 all you do is talk shit and call for people ahead of you so what does that make you
Everyone you fought was ranked higher than you time to return the favor
If you are as good as you say I should be easy work Let’s see how much of a bully you are I’ll be waiting
