LAS VEGAS – Sadibou Sy is one of the most dangerous strikers on the entire PFL roster, but has plans on showing off more areas of his game in an upcoming championship bout.
Looking to make it back-to-back welterweight title wins, Sy (16-6-2 MMA, 10-4-2 PFL) meets Magomed Magomedkerimov for the second time at the 2023 PFL Championships on Nov. 23. During the regular season, Sy added two impressive highlight clips to his reel during with a nasty knee to the body of Jarrah Al-Silawi and smooth walkoff wheel kick of Shane Mitchell. Magomedkerimov (33-6 MMA, 15-1 PFL) may look to avoid exchanges on the feet, which is something Sy welcomes.
“I hope he will,” Sy told reporters during a media scrum at Xtreme Couture when asked if he thinks Magomedkerimov will look to make the fight a grappling affair. “Because for me, I want to fight him (there) because I want to show myself that not only is he not going to be able to outgrapple or outwrestle me, I’m going to outwrestle him.”
