Sadibou Sy’s journey to the PFL championship wasn’t an easy one, but his high-level training partners helped him reach his goal.
SY (13-6-2) stuck and moved on Dilano Taylor (10-3) over the course of 25 minutes at 2022 PFL Championships at Madison Square Garden to win the welterweight championship. “The Swedish Denzel” has been with the promotion since 2018, and he says the steady improvement to reach the pinnacle made his crowning moment special.
“It feels better because I didn’t come straight in, 2018, first season winning,” Sy told reporters at the post-fight news conference (via MMA Sucka). “I had to go through a lot of struggle. A lot of struggle and a lot of deep conversation with my coaches and going through things, finding the right recipe. And that’s why today feels so much better.”
