Oumar Sy

Overview

Two UFC wins by first-round finish, and both of Oumar Sy's UFC losses by stoppage came after he had already shown he could win quickly. The French light heavyweight from Clichy, Paris is 3-3 in the UFC and carries a two-fight losing streak into his next bout. His 12-3-0 professional record covers all promotions, not just the UFC.

The profile is a split one: the style numbers say one thing, and the last two results say another.

UFC Career

Sy debuted in May 2024 and submitted Tuco Tokkos in the first round at 3:43. Four months later he beat Da Woon Jung by unanimous decision, a full three-round fight after the quick opener.

That made two straight wins. It is also the longest streak of his UFC run.

Alonzo Menifield, an opponent our model rates as strong, ended it in June 2025 with a unanimous decision. Sy bounced back in September with a first-round knockout of Brendson Ribeiro at 4:42.

Then the results turned. Ion Cutelaba submitted him in round 1 at 4:24 in March 2026, and Modestas Bukauskas stopped him by KO/TKO in round 2 at 3:57 that September.

He has no wins over elite opponents. Three wins and three losses is a fair summary of the sample so far.

Fighting Style

Sy is a hard fighter to hit and a hard one to take down. He takes very little damage on the feet and defends strikes and takedowns well. His accuracy is a cut above most, and he lands at a pace close to the UFC average, so he wins exchanges by landing cleanly rather than by volume.

He also looks to take the fight down more than most fighters do, and he shoots for takedowns often.

His finishes come early. Both of his UFC finishes came in round 1, one by submission and one by KO/TKO. His losses include one stoppage by KO/TKO and one by submission, along with one decision.
