Brady has been in Morales’ shoes. He was once the undefeated rising star on a fast-track to championship contention, only to have his rise paused for a moment by Muhammad. The loss taught him that life is always going to continue as it was regardless of the outcome of his fights, which has since allowed him to compete with more freedom. In turn, that makes him more dangerous, which his last three opponents learned.
Having lived what Morales is about to undertake this weekend, the Marquez MMA representative believes the shift from what Morales envisions will happen and the reality he’ll encounter in the Octagon will provide Brady with the opportunity he needs to take charge of the contest.

“I think he’s gonna come out and he think it’s gonna be…” began Brady, pausing to find the right way to present his thoughts. “He thinks he’s gonna get me out of there early, and then he’s gonna realize I’m not going anywhere. That’s when some doubt is gonna start setting into his mind, and then we’ll go from there.”
That may well be the way Morales envisions the fight playing out, but unsurprisingly, when asked for his forecasted version of how things will transpire this weekend, Brady remained a straightforward and no-nonsense as ever.
“I’m gonna go out there and dominate.”
