"Sy (11-1) is making the quick turnaround after dropping a fight to Alonzo Menifield in June. The loss was the first of his professional career and snapped a two-fight UFC win streak. Ribeiro (17-8) had his own win streak snapped by Azmat Murzakanov who finished him at UFC 316 in June. The loss dropped him to 2-3 in the UFC so a victory in Paris is much needed by the Brazilian."
"Round 1 - The roof blew off the place during the walkout and it did not stop when the fight started as they supported their hometown fighter in Sy. Sy landed a couple leg kicks before landing a right hand, and shooting and scoring a takedown pretty quick. The crowd began so sing to Sy. Incredible environment. Ribeiro tried to get his hips into play and change the position,"
Oumar Sy entered UFC Paris seeking a rebound after his first professional loss to Alonzo Menifield in June. Brendson Ribeiro also sought a bounceback following a loss to Azmat Murzakanov that left him 2-3 in the UFC. The Paris crowd heavily supported Sy from the walkout through the fight. Sy landed leg kicks, a right hand, and quickly shot for a takedown. Sy maintained top control, landed significant ground strikes, and repeatedly returned to dominant positions after Ribeiro attempted escapes and a kimura. Sy finished Ribeiro via first-round TKO at 4:42, securing a decisive home victory.
