PFL returned to Sioux Falls on May 3, 2026, with a card that produced several noteworthy results across multiple weight classes, headlined by Logan Storley's unanimous decision victory over Florim Zendeli.
Storley's win in the main event was one of five unanimous decisions on the night, underscoring a card heavy on grinding, disciplined performances. Gadzhi Rabadanov added his name to the winners' column with a 30-27, 30-27, 29-28 sweep over Alexander Chizhov. The 32-year-old Russian carries a 26-5-2 record and brings a measured, control-based approach to his fights, averaging just 0.76 significant strikes per minute but landing them at a 56-percent clip and adding 3.43 takedowns per fifteen minutes. That combination of accuracy and wrestling was evident against Chizhov.
Sergey Bilosten delivered the most emphatic finish of the evening, stopping Renan Ferreira by TKO in the third round. Magomed Magomedov collected a split decision over Leandro Higo, whose 23-7 record and 59-percent striking accuracy have made him a durable and technically sound presence at 36 years old. The Brazilian, standing five-foot-eight with a 175 cm reach, kept the contest close enough to earn two judges' favor, but it was not enough.
Rasul Magomedov rounded out the decision winners with a unanimous verdict over Rafael Xavier. The most decisive finish outside the Bilosten stoppage came from Tayla Santos, who needed only the first round to finish Yan Qihui by TKO. The 29-year-old Chinese fighter, known as "Queen Kong," entered the bout at 25-5 with a solid 4.38 significant strikes per minute and 3.68 takedowns per fifteen minutes, but Santos put her away before those weapons could accumulate.
Why it matters
- Rabadanov's convincing scorecards strengthen his position in a deep lightweight field
- Santos's quick finish signals she remains dangerous at the top of the women's flyweight division
- Bilosten's third-round TKO over Ferreira adds momentum heading into the later stages of the PFL season
