Sean Brady blasts Belal Muhammad, Steven ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson for avoiding him; Muhammad responds

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!”

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.”

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.”
