‘Schooled’ – Sean Brady Dominates Joaquin Buckley On Ground

Written by

The ground game of Sean Brady seemed untouchable at UFC 328, as he put on an absolute clinic in a win over Joaquin Buckley.

Brady scored four takedowns over the course of the 15-minute fight, gaining just over 12 minutes of control time. Buckley was able to get up at times, but Brady’s pressure just proved to be too much.

Brady, in fact, landed 71 significant ground strikes and landed a total of 245 strikes during the bout. Brady swept the judges’ scorecards, with two judges giving Brady two 10-8 rounds for near finishes — both via TKO and submission.

That’s a massive bounce-back win from Sean Brady.

There was lots of chatter surrounding the unusual line movement heading into the fight, but Brady puts all that to rest. Clinical. Never in doubt.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the Morales fight is gonna be haunting not just Brady but every one of his opponents he does this to.

Wild he made it look that easy when everyone else is struggling so much with Brady. #UFC328

Brady rebounds from his loss to Michael Morales at UFC 322. That loss had snapped a three-fight losing streak. The only other fighter to defeat Brady is former UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad.

Buckley has now dropped two fights, coming into this bout off a loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC Atlanta in June 2025. That loss snapped a six-fight win streak Buckley was previously on.
