His latest victory came through a unanimous decision over Da Woon Jung at UFC Paris on September 2, 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the fight, Oumar suffered a twisted ankle but continued to fight. As he explained during the &#8220;AB Show&#8221;: &#8220;I had a big sprain at the end of the first round, but I decided not to tell my coaches and just pushed through. The plan was to focus on calf kicks, but with the injury, I had to reduce my activity and focus more on movement and disguise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Climbing the global rankings<\/strong> Thanks to this crucial win, Oumar climbed the global light heavyweight rankings: &#8220;I was ranked 40th, and now I&#8217;m 30th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A strong stance towards the media<\/strong> When asked about his view on the development of mixed martial arts, particularly among amateurs, Oumar took the opportunity to respond to the media. He stated: &#8220;I&#8217;m not reserved, it&#8217;s just my personality. I&#8217;m here to fight, nothing else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also criticized the media, especially RMC: &#8220;I have nothing against them, but they made an unacceptable comparison between me and Ciryl Gane. I am Oumar Sy, not a &#8216;new Ciryl Gane&#8217;. When I saw that, I felt like the media was against me, but fortunately, they corrected it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French fighter Oumar Sy, who remains undefeated with a 2-0 record in the UFC, showcased an impressive performance in his last fight in Paris.
