PFL held its Sioux Falls event on May 3, 2026, with several fighters delivering standout performances across a card heavy with international talent, particularly from Russia and Eastern Europe.
Magomed Magomedov, nicknamed "Tiger," earned a split decision victory over Leandro Higo by scores of 30-27, 28-29, and 30-27. The 33-year-old Russian carries a 21-5 record and brings sharp, accurate striking to every outing, connecting at a 63.4 percent accuracy rate while landing 0.65 significant strikes per minute. His opponent, Higo, is a 36-year-old Brazilian veteran standing five-foot-eight with a 69-inch reach and a record of 23-7. Despite Higo's experience and a notable 59.81 percent striking accuracy of his own, he came up short on the judges' scorecards.
Sergey Bilostenniy made a strong statement with a third-round TKO over Renan Ferreira. The 29-year-old Russian stands six-foot-one with a 75-inch reach and has developed a reputation as a high-output striker, averaging 1.17 significant strikes per minute at an impressive 64.81 percent accuracy. His record now stands at 14-4.
Gadji Rabadanov also picked up a unanimous decision win over Alexander Chizhov, with two judges scoring it 30-27 and one returning a 29-28 card. Logan Storley defeated Florim Zendeli by unanimous decision, and Rasul Magomedov swept the judges with three 30-27 scorecards against Rafael Xavier.
Why it matters
- Bilostenniy's TKO of Ferreira, a well-known heavyweight name, positions him as a serious contender in PFL's heavyweight division
- Magomed Magomedov's split decision win keeps him in the mix but leaves room for debate given the narrow scoring
- The card underscores PFL's continued reliance on a deep international roster, with Russian fighters prominent across multiple bouts
