Sean Brady expressed his concerns over Islam Makhachev's potential move to welterweight, stating he believes Makhachev should clear out the competition at lightweight first. After Jack Della Maddalena dethroned Belal Muhammad, Makhachev's welterweight ambitions were reignited. Brady acknowledges Makhachev's accomplishments but worries about the implications for competition in both weight classes. Should Makhachev ascend to welterweight, Brady is eager for a high-stakes bout against Ian Garry as a title eliminator, showcasing his readiness to compete at the top level.
"I would rather see him stay where he's at and kind of clean out 155... There's still guys at 155 and then you got Ilia trying to come up."
"But then again on the other hand, he's done so much. If he's gonna move up, is he gonna stay there though? Because now you're holding up two divisions."
