Rory MacDonald vs Sadibou Sy: Preview and Prediction 02/07/2022
Rory MacDonald (32, Canada)
Nickname: Red King
Career: 23 wins – 8 losses – 1 draw
In PFL: 2 wins – 2 losses
43rd in the world welterweight rankings
Rory MacDonald fought successfully in the UFC and then moved to Bellator, where he became the welterweight champion. He has been a member of the PFL since last year. He was the overwhelming favorite to win the 2021 Grand Prix, but he crashed in the semi-finals. American Ray Cooper defeated him in a unanimous decision.
This year, the Canadian started by defeating Brett Cooper via submission in the first round. At the moment, Rory has a perfect chance of reaching the playoffs. And he will become a participant in the semi-finals with a guarantee if he beats Sadibu Si in any way.

MacDonald is one of the best welterweight wrestlers. He has nine submissions, seven knockouts, and seven wins on points.
Sadibu Sy (35 years old, Sweden)
Career: 10 wins – 6 losses – 2 draws
In PFL: 4 wins – 4 losses – 2 draws
62nd in the world welterweight rankings
Sadibu Sy has been taking part in the Grand Prix since 2018. He is constantly listed among the outsiders, but he is always surprised. So, he won against Alexei Kunchenko and Nikolai Aleksakhin.
After the first round of the group stage, he has three points to his credit. To get to the semi-finals, you need to beat MacDonald, which will be very difficult.
C fights exclusively in the standing position. He has never won by submission, but he has six knockouts.
Forecast and rate
I do not doubt that MacDonald will win. Despite several weak performances, the Canadian is still a formidable force. Sy is not a rival to him. If Rory takes the fight to the ground, the Swede will have no chance.
Bookmaker Ratings prediction #1–Rory MacDonald to Win – 1.38
