Logan Storley headlined a dominant night for PFL in Sioux Falls, defeating Florim Zendeli by unanimous decision in the main event of a card that saw Russian fighters collect multiple victories across several weight classes.

Leandro Higo

Storley, known as "Storm," improved to 18-4-0 with the win. The 32-year-old American stands five-foot-nine with a 71-inch reach and is one of the most prolific wrestlers in the sport, averaging 8.75 takedowns per 15 minutes. His striking accuracy of 75.37 percent further underlines why opponents struggle to find a comfortable position against him at any range.

Gadji Rabadanov picked up a unanimous decision over Alexander Chizhov, with two judges scoring it 30-27 and a third returning a 29-28 card. Sergey Bilostennyy added a third-round TKO over heavyweight Renan Ferreira, a finish that stood as one of the most emphatic results of the evening.

In the bantamweight contest between Magomed Magomedov and Leandro Higo, Magomedov took a split decision to move to 21-5-0. The 33-year-old Russian, nicknamed "Tiger," lands at a 63.4 percent accuracy clip and averages 0.65 significant strikes per minute, a steady output that helped him control the fight against Higo. The Brazilian, 36, carries a 23-7-0 record and is known for efficiency rather than volume, landing at nearly 60 percent accuracy himself, but it was not enough to sway the majority of judges.

Why it matters

  • Storley's win keeps him in contention at welterweight, where his elite wrestling remains a structural problem for any opponent
  • Bilostennyy's TKO of Ferreira reshapes the heavyweight picture inside PFL, a division that has lacked a clear frontrunner
  • The depth of Russian talent on display signals continued organizational investment in fighters from that region
  • Higo's loss at 36 raises questions about his path forward in a competitive bantamweight bracket
