Logan Storley also claimed a unanimous decision win, defeating Florim Zendeli across three judges. Storley, who carries an 18-4 record and competes out of the United States at age 32, is one of the more dominant wrestlers on the PFL roster. He averages 8.75 takedowns per 15 minutes and lands significant strikes at a 75.37 percent accuracy rate, among the highest marks in the sport at any level.

Magomed Magomedov, known as Tiger, edged past Leandro Higo by split decision, with scores of 30-27, 28-29, and 30-27. The 33-year-old Russian holds a 21-5 record and brings precise striking to the cage, landing at a 63.4 percent accuracy rate. His opponent Higo, a 36-year-old Brazilian veteran at 23-7, operates at a lower volume but connects at a 59.81 percent clip, making for a technically cautious matchup that the judges ultimately split.
