Training with UFC stars Chimaev and Strickland has drastically improved Sy’s skills and he predicted his fight with Dilano Taylor will go “smoothly” later this month
Sadibou Sy has credited hard sparring sessions with Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland for the success he’s achieved in PFL this year.
Sy, 35, has the chance to win $1million on November 25 when he faces Dilano Taylor in New York at the welterweight PFL finals. ‘The Swedish Denzel Washington’ is unbeaten in this year’s campaign with his most impressive win coming against former UFC title challenger Rory MacDonald, who retired after being beaten by Sy.
The Swede trains out of Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, which is home to Strickland and a number of other top UFC contenders. Sy started training with Chimaev at Allstars Training Center in Stockholm before his cancelled fight against Leon Edwards two years ago and the PFL star has credited both of the fighters for improving his skills.
