RAF 12 results: Jordan Burroughs slams Sean Brady before winning 11-0 shutout victory

Jordan Burroughs dominated UFC welterweight contender Sean Brady in a wrestling match at RAF 12, shutting him out 11–0 in just over one period to announce his return from a two-year layoff. The 2012 Olympic gold medalist showed why he remains one of the greatest American wrestlers of all time, overwhelming Brady with explosive takedowns and superior positioning.

Burroughs scored first via a step-out, then sank his signature double-leg takedown early in the first period, lifting Brady into the air before slamming him for a five-point score. Brady attempted to stay aggressive but was caught on his leg before another push-out left Burroughs ahead 7–0 at the end of the opening frame. The second period lasted only seconds—Burroughs exploded forward again, hitting another powerful double-leg and scoring four more points to reach 11–0 and end the match by technical fall.

Despite Brady's reputation as one of the UFC's top grapplers, he had never competed in folkstyle or freestyle wrestling before and faced an insurmountable skill gap. Brady earned respect for his effort, but Burroughs' dominance was complete. Post-fight, Burroughs signed a three-match RAF deal and announced plans to travel to Moscow on September 5, signaling his commitment to the wrestling circuit.
