Sean Brady: Buckley's comments about my family fueled my motivation

Sean Brady revealed that Joaquin Buckley's comments about his family provided extra motivation for their fight. Brady stated he was particularly angered when Buckley talked about their encounter at the UFC Performance Institute and allegedly mentioned Brady's wife and daughter, though Buckley later denied saying it. Brady said he told Buckley to keep his family's names out of his mouth and expressed his disdain for fighters who behave that way. In a post-fight interview, Brady also mentioned that he ignored social media for the final eight weeks of his training camp and is unsure about potential matchups in the top five because he hasn't been following who has fights scheduled. The complete focus on the Buckley fight paid off with a strong performance that Brady felt was his most concentrated effort to date.
