All fighters on the PFL Sioux Falls card made weight on Thursday ahead of the May 1 event, with one exception: Magomed Magomedov failed to hit the mark for his flyweight matchup against Leandro Higo, forcing that bout to proceed at a catchweight.
The main event sends Logan Storley against Florim Zendeli, while the co-main event pairs Alexander Chizhov with Gadzhi Rabadanov in a catchweight contest. Heavyweight contenders Sergey Bilostenny and Renan Ferreira also clash on the card, as do light heavyweights Rasul Magomedov and Rafael Xavier. Twelve bouts are scheduled across multiple weight classes.
Rabadanov, a 32-year-old Russian with a 26-5-2 record, brings a grappling-first approach to his catchweight meeting with Chizhov. He averages 3.43 takedowns per 15 minutes and connects at a striking accuracy rate above 56 percent, though his output on the feet is measured at under one significant strike per minute.
Higo, a 36-year-old Brazilian known as "ALTER," carries a 23-7 record into his flyweight affair with Magomedov. Despite his opponent missing weight, Higo remains one of the more precise fighters on the card, landing close to 60 percent of his significant strikes. His game leans heavily on striking rather than grappling, averaging fewer than half a takedown attempt per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Magomedov's weight miss shifts his flyweight bout to a catchweight, affecting divisional implications for Higo
- The Storley-Zendeli main event headlines a card with meaningful stakes across four weight classes
- Rabadanov's high takedown volume sets up a compelling stylistic contrast in the co-main event
