Tonight, he faces fellow PFL veteran Josh Silvera in a highly anticipated match at the Theater at Virgin Hotels.
Sy’s decision to move up in weight has been met with excitement and support from his training partners at Xtreme Couture. UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture, the founder of Xtreme Couture, believes that Sy’s frame and striking abilities make him a formidable competitor in the light heavyweight division. Couture also praises Sy’s work ethic and dedication to improving as a fighter.
Sy’s journey to Xtreme Couture began as a short visit to spar with renowned fighters like Sean Strickland and Brad Tavares. Impressed by the gym’s atmosphere and coaching staff, Sy and his wife decided to make Las Vegas their permanent home. The supportive and like-minded community at Xtreme Couture has played a crucial role in Sy’s growth as an athlete.
Since joining Xtreme Couture, Sy has achieved impressive victories, including upsets against former UFC standout Rory MacDonald. These wins eventually led to his championship victory over Dilano Taylor. With the seven-figure payday, Sy was able to establish his roots in Las Vegas by purchasing a house and starting a family.
However, Sy’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. In the PFL’s welterweight competition in 2023, Sy struggled to make weight due to the demanding schedule. The toll on his body was evident, and he ultimately lost his championship bout against Magomed Magomedkerimov. Determined to find a better fit for his body, Sy made the decision to move up to the light heavyweight division.
Sy’s transition to the light heavyweight division has been accompanied by a newfound energy and focus. With the support of his championship team and a strong belief in his abilities, Sy is determined to go all the way and achieve success in his new weight class.
Tonight’s match against Josh Silvera marks the beginning of Sy’s journey in the 205-pound ranks. Fans and fellow fighters are eagerly anticipating Sy’s performance and the impact he will make in the division.
