Dalton Rosta impressed in his PFL debut and then paid tribute to a WWE legend.
Dalton Rosta has arrived in PFL.
At 2025 PFL World Tournament 3, Rosta (10-1) made light work of 2022 welterweight champion Sadibou Sy. After a dominant first round, Rosta submitted Sy (17-9-2) with a D’Arce choke at 3:29 of Round 2. The bout took place in Orlando, Fla.
With the victory, Rosta advances to the middleweight tournament quarterfinal against Aaron Jeffery (16-5), who defeated Murad Ramazanov earlier on Friday’s card. Jeffery is the only man to hold a win over Rosta, who he defeated by unanimous decision under the Bellator banner in August 2023.
Rosta, 29, earns a victory in his PFL debut after being imported into the promotion with the Bellator brand. He has won back-to-back fights since the Jeffery loss.
Sy, 38, moves to 1-3 in his most recent four outings.
