Sean Brady reveals Joaquin Buckley's comments fueled motivation for fight

Sean Brady shared what gave him extra motivation before his fight with Joaquin Buckley. Brady was particularly angered when Buckley discussed their encounter at the Performance Institute, feeling Buckley misrepresented the interaction. Brady was especially upset by Buckley's comments about Brady's wife and daughter, claiming Buckley said they couldn't save him, which Brady confronted him about directly. Brady criticized Buckley for later denying he made those comments, saying he dislikes when fighters behave that way. Brady also revealed he completely ignored social media for the final eight weeks before the fight and wasn't following other matchups in the division, so he couldn't specify which top-5 opponent he'd want next.
