Sean Brady might get kicked and tossed around in the Octagon. Which is still much safer compared to what he had to face outside it. The 29-year-old UFC fighter has had a rough time coping with all the hatred he received before his fight against Belal Muhammad. Even though none of it was his fault.
Belal Muhammad went up against Brady and came out on top. But fans of Muhammad went as far as issuing death threats to Brady, ahead of UFC 280. The sickest part is they involved his wife in all of this drama. Brady got deservedly furious with fans of Muhammad.

It hurt Sean Brady after UFC 280. Not just because he suffered his first professional loss, but mainly due to the fact that his wife received shocking messages from “Fake accounts”
Brady’s better half got disturbing messages from fans of Belal Muhammad when the fighter was about to get into the Octagon.
“Someone messaged her and said that if I won the fight against Belal that they would kill me and bury me in the desert, it was pretty bad.” said the welterweight fighter.
“Dude, these fans, they’re scumbags,” he added, commenting on the lengths some fans go to while supporting their favorite athlete. The threats did not frighten the UFC fighter. Instead, Brady was sad to see his family being involved.
He clarified, “Don’t get me wrong, there’s great fans, then there are these people with fake profiles that write to you afterward.” said the American.

Sean Brady isn’t affected by these, but the same can’t be said about his wife, who got scared. “I don’t let it get to me. I try not to lean into that s*** anymore. But my wife, she’s a registered nurse.”
The professional MMA fighter added that “All she does is take care of people, and people are threatening her, calling her this, calling her that.” she did not deserve to be spoken about and threatened Muhammad’s fans
