Nevertheless, with some added spice to the pairing, during which Edwards questioned the peak of Sean Brady — and failed to the touch gloves with the previous LFA star forward of their matchup, the latter didn’t maintain again on his emotions concerning the ex-champion and his workforce this week.
“I’ve never been tall, but he (Leon Edwards) walked up to me, and he said something, he was asking me about my height, (0:20) and I was like, he was like, how tall are you, five eight, five nine, he was being a dickhead,” Sean Brady advised Ariel Helwani for Uncrowned.

“Personally, fuck Leon. Fuck him and his whole team. That’s how I feel about the whole situation.
I’m like, ‘Yo man, you’re a great champion.’ He just kind of like brushed me off. Obviously, he’s upset, but… pic.twitter.com/QZVYPp2wNb

I’m respectful, like, GSP’s (Georges St-Pierre) my favourite fighter, at all times revered guys, however whenever you’re an asshole like that, like, don’t, like, I can provide it proper again, (1:29) so, personally, f*ck Leon. F*ck him and his entire workforce, and that’s how I really feel about the entire state of affairs. I’m like, ‘Yo man, you’re an amazing champion.’ He simply type of like brushed me off. Clearly, he’s upset, however even his entire workforce… they had been corny as sh*t too, so it was simply whack. He’s simply salty… Then seeing all this sh*t he was saying about me all through the week… I want I used to be even f*cking meaner to this dude.”
