PFL returned to Sioux Falls on May 3, 2026, with a card that produced a string of decisive finishes and a pair of headlining unanimous decisions to close out the night.

Logan Storley, nicknamed "Storm," picked up the main event victory with a unanimous decision over Florim Zendeli. The 32-year-old American carries an 18-4 record and remains one of the more suffocating wrestlers in PFL's welterweight field. His numbers back that up — Storley averages 8.75 takedowns per 15 minutes and lands significant strikes at a remarkable 75.37 percent accuracy rate, the kind of combination that makes him difficult to gameplan against for a full 25 minutes.

Gadji Rabadanov earned the co-main event decision against Alexander Chizhov, with two judges scoring it 30-27 and a third seeing it 29-28, making it the tightest card-wide decision of the evening.

In a lighter-weight bout, Magomed Magomedov — the 33-year-old Russian known as "Tiger" — posted a split decision win over Leandro Higo. Magomedov holds a 21-5 record and connects at a 63.4 percent striking accuracy clip. Higo, the 36-year-old Brazilian veteran carrying a 23-7 mark, operates at a lower volume but showed enough to keep one judge in his corner before the split went against him.
