The 2024 PFL 2 main card opener ended in unusual fashion after a fighter’s hand was mutilated on a takedown. As Sadibou Sy planted his hand down on takedown from opponent Josh Silveira , gravity took its toll on his thumb, which bent awkwardly under the weight of his body. Sy (16-8-2) waved to referee Marc Goddard, as a confused Silveira (13-2) laid on top of him. The signal marked the end of the fight at 1:14 of Round 1. Sadibou Sy suffers an early injury on a takedown… Silveira gets the W and 6 points in the LHW Standings! #PFLRegularSeason LIVE NOW ESPNews https://t.co/jPNvomCxHI pic.twitter.com/EZuOUEKP0b — PFL (@PFLMMA) April 13, 2024 It’s unclear what the exact medical diagnosis of Sy’s thumb is, though the broadcast speculated a dislocation. Sy was clearly frustrated by the result, as he vented his frustration with his thumb protruding awkwardly the entire time.
