LAS VEGAS – Sadibou Sy cashed a $1 millon prize for winning the PFL welterweight championship in 2022. This year, he will hunt for another seven-figure payday in a much heavier division. For Sy (16-7-2), a 37-year-old, 6-foot-3 fighter, making 170 pounds was not easy. Having to complete that weight cut four times in seven months due to the PFL’s regular and postseason schedule made things that much worse. Even though Sy reached the end goal in 2022 by winning the championship and nearly went back-to-back in 2023, he will not put his body through that process again in 2024 as he jumps to the light heavyweight division.
