See said he wanted a viral knockout in the last regular season of the year, and may have achieved his goal.
At the 2023 PFL 6 at the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, C, the winner of the 2022 welterweight season faced Mitchell in the co-main event. The majority of the bout was spent trading blows on the feet, until Sy landed a beautiful cartwheel kick at 1:35 of the third round.
The fight started out competitively, with both fighters landing well on the feet. Sy, however, was more accurate and delivered higher volume, including a lightning fast wheel kick that would have ended Mitchell’s night had it connected.
In the third round, Sy was well ahead in the fight and had already secured a tiebreaker spot, but was still looking for that standout moment. He went for the wheel kick again and this time he connected, sending Mitchell crashing to the canvas for a walk finish.
Sai finished both of his matches in the 2023 regular season. In 2023, Jarrah stopped Al-Silawi with knees and punches in the second round. On Friday, his playoff spot was secure with no win, draw or even loss after the second round. However, he chose to go for the feature moment and it paid off in a big way.
