Sean Brady doesn’t expect to see Colby Covington’s name on a bout agreement in his inbox anytime soon.

Brady established himself as a principle contender for Belal Muhammad’s UFC welterweight division last month, comprehensively defeating former champion Leon Edwards by fourth round submission in the headline bout of the organisation’s latest card in London, England.

As such Brady, whose sole career came against the current champ a couple of years ago, has positioned himself near the summit of the 170-pound ladder but acknowledges that he likely needs one more win to firm up what would be his first title shot.

But one fighter that this won’t come against is the former three-time title challenger Colby Covington; a fighter that Brady said he repeatedly called for a bout with in the past.

“I was asking for that fight for so long, the UFC pretty much told me, ‘This guy sucks.’” Brady said on his BradyBagz podcast, as noted by MMA Fighting.

“The best thing, I watched him, my brother sent me this clip where he said, ‘Sean Brady f*cking sucks. I never watched one of his fights. Blah blah blah. I watched him get beat up by Belal.’ Brother, you just said you never watched one of my fights but then you watched me get beat up by Belal, so what are you talking about?”

Furthermore, Brady says that Covington’s time has come and gone in the sport as evidenced by his recent performances in the cage.

“He’s this high-level wrestler, but bro, Leon took you down multiple times, beat the shit out of you,” Brady explained. “Do you see what I just did to Leon? What would I do to you? I would f*cking kill him. He’s not even getting anyone in the top 15. Dude, he might not even have a f*cking job. When is the last time that dude won a fight? He f*cking sucks.

“Colby, you’re a p*ssy. How do you get punched on by [Jorge] Masvidal in public and go sue him? You’re a pro fighter. You’re a p*ssy.”
