PFL Sioux Falls delivered a card full of finishes and decisive verdicts on May 3, with Gadji Rabadanov and Sergey Bilostennyy among the fighters who stood out on the night.
Rabadanov earned a unanimous decision over Alexander Chizhov, with two judges scoring it 30-27 and a third scoring it 29-28, making for a comfortable if not entirely dominant victory on the cards. Bilostennyy delivered the card's most eye-catching result, stopping the heavily credentialed Renan Ferreira by TKO in the third round.

In the main event, Logan Storley defeated Florim Zendeli by unanimous decision. Magomed Magomedov, the 33-year-old Russian fighter who carries a 21-5 record and answers to the nickname "Tiger," got past Leandro Higo by split decision. Higo, a 36-year-old Brazilian with a 23-7 record, brings a striking accuracy of nearly 60 percent into every fight, making the split nature of the verdict a reflection of how competitive the bout was. Rasul Magomedov rounded out the main results with a unanimous decision win over Rafael Xavier.
Why it matters
- Bilostennyy's stoppage of Ferreira is a significant result in the heavyweight division given Ferreira's profile as a finisher and physical specimen.
- Storley's unanimous decision over Zendeli keeps him relevant in a competitive welterweight landscape.
- Magomed Magomedov's split decision over Higo moves him forward but leaves room for debate, given Higo's experience and accuracy.
