AUSTIN, Texas – Sean Brady has a decently sufficient task in front of him Saturday in Texas. But if things go the way he wants, plan on a callout that likely will get some attention.
Brady (15-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) takes on former middleweight title challenger Kelvin Gastelum (18-8 MMA, 12-8 UFC) on the main card at UFC on ESPN 52 at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. The welterweight bout will be Gastelum’s first in the division since 2016 after years at 185 pounds.
The fight is a close one at the betting window with Brady just a slight favorite at -125. He’ll be looking to rebound from the first loss of his career, a second-round TKO at the hands of Belal Muhammad in October 2022 in Abu Dhabi. He hasn’t fought since then, but Gastelum keeps in line with the level of competition he’s been facing, including wins over Michael Chiesa and Jake Matthews before he fought Muhammad.
