Logan Storley headlined the evening, taking a unanimous decision over Florim Zendeli to claim the main event victory. Gadji Rabadonov followed with a dominant unanimous decision win over Alexander Chizhov, with two of the three judges scoring it a wide 30-27. Sergey Bilostennyi stopped Renan Ferreira by TKO in the third round, one of the night's more notable finishes given Ferreira's reputation as a heavyweight puncher. On the women's side, Tayla Santos needed just one round to TKO Kihui Yan, and Sabrina de Sousa picked up a decision over Cheyanne Bowers.

Sang Won Kim added another finish to the card, stopping Humberto Bandenay by TKO in the second round. Bandenay, a 31-year-old Peruvian southpaw carrying a 14-7 record, enters with a reach of 71 inches and averages 2.9 takedown attempts per 15 minutes, but he was unable to keep the fight in his favor long enough to use that wrestling-forward game.

In the bantamweight co-feature, Magomed "Tiger" Magomedov took a split decision over Leandro "Alter" Higo by scores of 30-27, 28-29, and 30-27. Magomedov, a 33-year-old Russian at 21-5, brings notable precision to the cage, converting at a 63.4 percent striking accuracy rate across his career. Higo, a 36-year-old Brazilian veteran with a 23-7 record, is equally precise by percentage at nearly 60 percent accuracy, but his low volume — just 0.4 significant strikes landed per minute — made sustained offense difficult across the scorecards.

Why it matters

  • Bilostennyi's third-round TKO over Ferreira carries significant weight in the PFL heavyweight picture
  • Both Magomedov brothers earned decisions the same night, strengthening their respective divisional standings
  • Rabadonov's lopsided scoring against Chizhov signals a potential push toward PFL contention
