Under 2023 års upplaga av World MMA Awards stod två svenska fajters nominerade. Sadibou Sy och Zebaztian Kadestam.
Sadibou Sy nominerad i tre kategorier
World MMA Awards ägde rum på The Sahara Theatre, Las Vegas, USA, natten till fredag. Svenska fajters var nominerade i tre kategorier. Det föregående årets PFL-vinnare Sy stod nominerad i den mycket prestigefyllda kategorin ”Årets Fighter”. Stockholmaren var även nominerad i kategorin ”Årets Internationella Fighter” och ”Årets Knockout”. Den sistnämnda nomineringen hade Sy fått för sin spinning wheel kick mot Shane Mitchell under PFL 6.
Kadestam, som är under kontrakt med ONE Championship, var nominerad i kategorin ”Årets Skräll”. Svensken besegrade storfavoriten Roberto Soldic i samband med ONE Fight Night 10.
