Grant Dawson and Sean Brady, fresh off dominant UFC 328 victories, join Jim Norton and Matt Serra on UFC Unfiltered to reflect on their hard-fought wins, mental resilience, and the realities of fighting at the highest level. Dawson shares how he overcame a devastating second-round knockdown by staying mentally present and using the clinch to recover, ultimately securing a rear-naked choke victory. He also reveals his dyslexia, which he says helps him think in puzzles during grappling, and discusses his brand, Grit and Guillotines, while praising his long-term training group in Philly. Brady opens up about his mental state after a tough loss to Michael Morales, admitting he didn’t know he was fighting until 5 p.m. the day of the bout due to last-minute medical issues. He credits his comeback to deleting social media for eight weeks, calling it 'so freeing' and a way to escape the 'fake' world of online comparison. Both fighters express a deep respect for their craft, with Brady emphasizing that true success comes not from perfect camps, but from belief in yourself for just 15 minutes. They also geek out over sci-fi and action movies, from *Predator: Badlands* to *The Dark Tower*, and share a mutual admiration for the gritty realism of MMA over the theatricality of wrestling.
