PFL Sioux Falls produced a string of finishes and hard-fought decisions on May 3, 2026, with four fighters named Rabadanov, Bilostenniy, and both Magomedovs all coming away with victories on a busy card.
Sergey Bilostenniy delivered the night's most emphatic result, stopping Renan Ferreira by TKO in the third round. The 29-year-old Russian stands six-foot-one with a 75-inch reach and brings a sharp eye for openings, connecting on nearly 65 percent of his significant strikes and averaging 1.17 landed per minute — among the more active output on the roster. His record moves to 14-4.
Magomed Magomedov, known as "Tiger," earned a split decision over Leandro Higo by scores of 30-27, 28-29, and 30-27. The 33-year-old Russian improves to 21-5 and showcased the striking precision that defines his game, posting a 63.4 percent accuracy rate. Higo, the 36-year-old Brazilian veteran now at 23-7, entered with a notably high striking accuracy of his own at nearly 60 percent, and one judge saw enough to give him the nod on that scorecard.
Gadji Rabadanov outpointed Alexander Chizhov by unanimous decision, with two judges scoring it a wide 30-27 and one turning in a 29-28. Rasul Magomedov also earned a clean sweep on the scorecards, defeating Rafael Xavier 30-27 across all three judges.
Why it matters
- Bilostenniy's third-round TKO over Ferreira, a known heavyweight threat, strengthens his case in the PFL heavyweight division.
- Magomed Magomedov's split decision keeps him in the mix despite a close card, while Higo's narrow loss does little to damage his standing as a durable contender.
- Simeon Powell's third-round TKO of Emiliano Sordi and Tayla Santos's first-round TKO of Kaiwei Yan added further finishes to a card heavy on stoppages.
