Three fighters earned standout victories at PFL Sioux Falls on May 3, 2026, headlined by Logan Storley's unanimous decision win over Florim Zendeli, Gadji Rabadanov's unanimous decision over Alexander Chizhov, and Sergey Bilostenniy's third-round TKO stoppage of Renan Ferreira.
Bilostenniy, a 29-year-old Russian heavyweight standing six-foot-one with a 75-inch reach, improved his professional record to 14-4. He brings a sharp offensive game to the cage, landing 1.17 significant strikes per minute at a 64.81 percent accuracy rate, and his finish of the highly regarded Ferreira underlines his finishing ability in the division.
Magomed Magomedov, nicknamed "Tiger," picked up a split decision over Leandro Higo by scores of 30-27, 28-29, and 30-27. The 33-year-old Russian carries a 21-5 record and lands significant strikes at a 63.4 percent clip, among the sharper rates in his weight class. His five-foot-seven frame and 70-inch reach belie an efficient striking approach that was enough to edge a close contest.
Higo, the 36-year-old Brazilian known as "Alter," falls to 23-7 after the split decision loss. Standing five-foot-eight with a 69-inch reach, Higo is a measured, precise striker who connects on nearly 60 percent of his significant strike attempts, though his output of 0.4 significant strikes per minute kept him on the back foot in the judges' eyes.
