2022 PFL 6 results: Sadibou Sy defeats Rory MacDonald, but both men advance to playoffs
Sadibou Sy is headed to the 2022 PFL playoffs.
It was a grueling and gritty 15 minutes, and perhaps not the most crowd-pleasing performance – but after three rounds, Sy (11-6-2) defeated former UFC title challenger Rory MacDonald (23-9-1) via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).
2022 PFL 6 took place Friday at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta.
All Sy needed to earn a playoff spot when he entered the fight was three points, a win regardless of method. The fight was closely contested with much work done in the clinch and from technical striking distance.
A punch from Sy during first-round takedown defense opened up a nasty gash under the right eye of MacDonald. As the fight progressed, both men tired. Sy, who is known for his striking, even scored a takedown of MacDonald midway through Round 3.
Sy was shortly thereafter declared the victor, and thus Magomed Magomedkerimov was ousted from the playoff roster. MacDonald remains the No. 1 seed. He’ll take on Magomed Umalatov. Meanwhile, Sy will fight Carlos Leal.
