PFL returned to Sioux Falls on May 3 with a card headlined by Logan Storley, who defeated Florim Zendeli by unanimous decision in the main event to keep his regular season campaign on track.
Gadzhi Rabadanov earned a unanimous decision win over Alexander Chizhov in a notable lightweight contest, with two judges scoring it 30-27 and one carding it 29-28. The 32-year-old Russian carries a 26-5-2 record and stands five-foot-eight with a 71-inch reach. Rabadanov is a disciplined grappler, averaging 3.43 takedowns per 15 minutes, and connects on an impressive 56 percent of his significant strikes despite a measured output of 0.76 per minute.
Sergey Bilostenniy stopped Renan Ferreira by TKO in the third round in the heavyweight division, handing Ferreira a setback in a matchup between two of PFL's most physically imposing big men.
Magomed Magomedov edged Leandro Higo by split decision, with scores of 30-27, 28-29, and 30-27. Higo, a 36-year-old Brazilian with a 23-7 record, operates with precision, converting nearly 60 percent of his significant strikes, but his modest output of 0.4 significant strikes per minute and limited takedown activity at 0.48 per 15 minutes made it a tight points contest.
Tayla Santos delivered one of the night's sharpest finishes, stopping Yan Qihui by TKO just one minute into the first round. Qihui, nicknamed Queen Kong, entered the bout at 25-5 with legitimate weapons — she averages 4.38 significant strikes per minute and 3.68 takedowns per 15 minutes — but Santos did not allow her to settle.
Rasul Magomedov rounded out the notable results with a unanimous decision victory over Rafael Xavier.
Why it matters
- Storley's main event win reinforces his position as a top welterweight contender in PFL's regular season standings
- Bilostenniy's finish over Ferreira carries major playoff implications in a loaded heavyweight field
- Rabadanov's grappling-heavy decision adds another win to a 26-fight career built on consistency
