Brady reveals medical issues nearly cancelled Morales fight on fight week

Sean Brady disclosed that his bout with Michael Morales was in jeopardy during fight week due to undisclosed medical issues with the athletic commission. Brady learned on Thursday that the fight might not happen, and the uncertainty persisted through Friday. He only received final confirmation that he would compete on Saturday evening, shortly before departing for the arena. Despite having a strong training camp, Brady admitted the behind-the-scenes drama prevented him from being fully focused, though he took responsibility for his performance. He emphasized the importance of staying completely present during the 15 or 25 minutes of actual fight time.
