Oumar Sy

Oumar Sy is a French mixed martial artist competing in the UFC’s light heavyweight division. As of September 29, 2026, the UFC lists him as an active fighter who trains at Bulgarian Top Team. He was born on November 21, 1995, in Clichy, Paris, France, and is listed at 6 feet 4 inches tall with an 83-inch reach.

Sy began his professional MMA career in 2019 and made his UFC debut on May 18, 2024, submitting George “Tuco” Tokkos by rear-naked choke. He subsequently earned a decision victory over Da Woon Jung and a first-round stoppage of Brendson Ribeiro. His UFC profile also records bouts against Alonzo Menifield, Ion Cutelaba and Modestas Bukauskas, including his most recent documented appearance on September 5, 2026.

Sy’s style combines long-range striking with opportunistic grappling. The UFC identifies the rear-naked choke as his favorite grappling technique and notes that he holds a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He has not claimed an official championship title, and his UFC biography says he did not pursue significant formal study before focusing on fighting. His stated ambition after reaching the UFC was to establish himself among the division’s leading contenders.
